Over one hundred children and young people from schools in Cumberland will be taking centre stage at the Merrylands Civic Square School Extravaganza.
As part of the Council's Eat Drink and Be Merrylands program, the Merrylands Civic Square School Extravaganza will be a vibrant event showcasing the talents and skills of local primary and high school students on Friday 17 November from 4pm to 7pm.
Cumberland Mayor Lisa Lake said the event provided an opportunity for children and young people to express their skills and talents.
"This event provides a platform for children and young people to showcase their talents in a safe and nurturing environment where they can feel supported to express themselves and be a part of our community," said Mayor Lake.
"I encourage everyone to come along and support our local children and young people as they showcase their talents and explore the new Merrylands Civic Square."
Up to 125 students will be taking part in the event ranging from Kindergarten to Year 12 from schools including Guildford West Public School, International Maarif Schools of Australia, Hilltop Road Public School, Regents Park Christian School and Westmead Christian School.
The entertainment line-up includes a mix of hip-hop, jazz, Turkish dancing, bands, drama performances, poetry reading and more! The family friendly event will also feature free children's activities including a Giant Connect 4, Monster Tumble Tower, Cornhole Toss, Giant Naughts and Crosses as well as a range of food vendors and market stalls hosted by Merrylands Scout Group, Holroyd State Emergency Service (SES), NSW Police (Cumberland PAC) and Merrylands Youth Centre.
Since the opening of the Merrylands Civic Square in August, Council launched the "Eat, Drink and be Merrylands" program which features ongoing activations and events to encourage people to engage and explore the new precinct.
