The community of schools contains eight schools and over 1200 students in the Dungog Shire area.
They include Dungog High School and Dungog, Martins Creek, Gresford, Paterson, Vacy, Clarence Town and Glen William public schools.
All schools were involved in the assembly with each one presenting either a dancing or singing item.
Awards were presented to teachers, students, non-teaching staff, community members and school programs from each of the schools.
Principal of Dungog High School Maureen Jarvis said Education Week was telling each school’s story.
“And it’s important to tell the story of our students, teachers and parents who make up each school,” she said.
“Since the formation of the Dungog District Community of Schools, we talk to each other a lot more.
“It is for all students from kinder through to year 12 and makes the progression from primary to high school a lot easier.
“The same values follow through . . . we support each other and speak with one voice.
“There is a very bright future on the foundation we have built when students move from one school to another.
“We are growing together.”
