Across the school term, students from each year group have been working with their teachers to put on a performance interpreting the theme 'inspire, nurture, challenge.'
The performances take inspiration from a host of popular media franchises such as Toy Story and Shrek.
Assistant principal Sharon Cafe said the concert's theme derives from the school's core vision.
"We want this concert to reflect what we aim to achieve as a school: to inspire, nurture and challenge students," Ms Cafe said.
"The concert requires a lot of effort each year, but it always manages to bring the school's community together."
Bathurst Public School currently has an enrolment of 565 students, and Ms Cafe said each child will get their time to shine during the concert.
"The concert will reflect the strengths of our school's diverse extra-curricular program, including band, beat boxing, dance and choir," she said.
Ms Cafe said the concert is designed to give students the confidence to perform live in front of a crowd.
"Some children find going on stage more of a challenge than others, but it's about giving them the chance to showcase their talent," she said.
"The enthusiasm shown by students towards the concert each year is inspiring, and there's always a handful of children who surprise everyone with what they accomplish."
While the school regularly enters students in the Bathurst Eisteddfod and Schools Spectacular, Ms Cafe said the concert celebrates Bathurst Public as a whole.
"This is our largest public performance and we love seeing the excitement on students' faces as they work together to entertain the crowd," she said.
"There's much more to the school experience than performing well academically."
The concert will take place at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, July 3. Tickets are still available for the 11am session.
