Best Story of the Year Nominee

Wakakirri is a great opportunity to not only develop your performing arts skills but to also make new friends and meet students from other year levels. The program is very student directed, developing leadership and mentoring opportunities. We find that involvement in this program often builds student resilience, team work, confidence and self-esteem. It?s a great opportunity and a lot of fun!

We look forward to seeing our year 8-11 students perform their piece this year around the theme of Hamilton the Musical!!

Any questions or queries about the program can be directed to Ms English, Ms Fernee or Ms Riley.
