The Voice winner Harrison Craig visited on Thursday to assure them it's completely possible to get there.
Singing on stage with Craig was Year 6 student Annmarie Maguire, who has been mentored by Tamworth artist Buddy Knox.
"My number one goal is to be a really good singer and go on The Voice," she said.
"You can always reach your goals if you try as hard as you can, and you don't need to be ashamed in front of an audience to sing."

Craig visited the school to talk about resilience, goal-setting and hard work, those are the values that helped him establish his own music career and write his book, Harrison's Song.
The children's book is part of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which Craig is an ambassador for. At just 18, he won The Voice under the watchful eye of British musician Seal.
Craig has a stutter, but when he sings it disappears.

"There shouldn't really be anything that stops you from achieving your dreams, because as long as you're alive you can get there," he said.
"And who knows, in 10 years time you might see Annmarie and I doing a duet."
