It has advanced lighting and audio systems with fifty static lighting channels and a total of twenty-nine audio channels with twenty Sends, five Receives, and two communication channels. The stage was designed to be used for large productions, such as the annual musical, with its many lighting bars, numerous intelligent lights, and extra power circuits for the bigger shows. The hall can seat approximately one thousand people. The technical side of the hall is run by the senior live productions classes.

Studio

Noosa District State High School was one of the first state schools in Queensland to get a fully functional recording studio. Funding was provided by the P&C. It has a vocal booth and radio room which broadcasts audio throughout the school during breaks as part of the Certificate II and III in Live Production, it is also capable of recording an 8 track band. The studio also produces videos using a green screen and chromakey and is used by students to prepare and present multimodal presentations for their class assessments in a range of subject areas including English, Sose/History, Science, Drama and Business. The studio was designed by Live Production students and Pete Gorman. Known as TARDIS, the studio also produces a Newscast which can be seen on the school website. The studio was named after a machine from the long-running science fiction television program Doctor Who , due to the fact that it is larger than it would seem from the outside.[ citation needed ]
