Cowra High School students are set to take part in Aboriginal and combined dance.
Cowra Public School students will be in the combined choir and combined dance ensembles while Holmwood Public School students will feature in the combined choir.
Musicians, including members of the 100-piece symphony orchestra, stage band and Millennium Marching Band, will be announced closer to the Schools Spectacular.
Schools Spectacular Creative Director, Sonja Sjolander said that this year's theme, STARS is a tribute to everybody involved in the Schools Spectacular.
"In the Schools Spectacular, everyone is a star," Ms Sjolander said.
"We are recognised as the biggest performance of its kind in the world, and to attain this success everyone has to shine in their role.
"Together we shine brighter.
"We are all stars, whether we are the performers on stage, backstage, crew, the dedicated teachers who make everything happen for their students or the parents who devote countless hours ensuring their children have this wonderful opportunity to star in the Schools Spectacular."
Ms Sjolander said local performers will join 5500 performers drawn from public schools across the state.
