Wakakirri finals

Students dancing the the Wakakirri finals.

Congratulations to our Wakakiri group for getting into the finals

Congratulations to our students and staff for getting into the Wakakirri finals. This is a wonderful result for our school and their performance last week was magnificent. Many thanks to Ms Crowshaw, Miss Wood, Miss Van Der Saag and Mrs Abramowicz for the many, many hours they have spent on weekends, before and after school to get our students to this level of outstanding achievement.

Established in 1992, Wakakirri is Australia’s largest Performing Arts event for schools, involving over 20,000 students across every state and territory. Over 1 million people watch Wakakirri performances live, online or via Wakakirri TV each year.

Each year schools across Australia create Story Dances for Wakakirri that reflect students’ thoughts, ideas and aspirations. These stories are performed in professional theatres in front of the official ‘Wakakirri Panel’ who are searching for ‘Story of the Year’.

Emphasis in Wakakirri is on participation and creativity not expensive and extravagant productions. An emphasis is also placed on creative movement and drama not on technical dance meaning every student can participate.

Wakakirri encourages schools to minimise their footprint when creating props and costumes for their performance and offers special awards for schools that excel in this area.
