More than 500 students were involved in the two-night spectacular that was seen by 1200 people and co-ordinated by Leeton High School teacher Lisa Schmetzer.
Gralee students opened the show, wowing the audience with their great costumes and performance.
Children from kindergerten to year 12 were a part of the show, co-ordinating lighting, costumes, performances and even choreography.
Mrs Schmetzer said it was a fantastic night that united the community.
"They were elated they just all loved it," Mrs Schmetzer said.
"They got to perform with their school friends and then develop cross-school links in the combined items.
"(It was particularly good) for the small schools where there might only be 45 students, to have an audience of 500."
Segments from smash-hit Broadway shows including Mary Poppins, The Lion King, Matilda, The Boy from Oz and Grease were performed.
Students delighted audiences with their spectacular dances, vivid costumes and enthusiastic singing.
Unable to pick a highlight from the bevy of quality performance, Mrs Schmetzer said they were all memorable.
"They were very unique."
Every students involved in the production, including backstage and lighting assistants packed the stage for the epic finale, aptly named Shine Your Way from Disney animated film The Croods.
Looking forward to having a rest after the exhausting 12-month marathon of co-ordinating Shine, Mrs Schmetzer said the students were counting down the day until the 2016 show.
"In 12 months time we'll start coming up with ideas," she said.
For now, the students can continue to relish in their star-status.
