Woy Woy in grand final

Woy Woy Public School competed in the NSW grand final of the national dance drama competition called Wakakirri at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, September 14.

The group was selected for the grand final at the Sydney Entertainment Centre after receiving six out of a possible six gold awards at the recent heats held at the Hills Centre, Castle Hill.

If successful the group moves on to the national finals.

The 31 performers are made up of boys and girls from Year 3 to Year 6 with a stage crew of four.

They have rehearsed during lunchtimes, before school and on Sundays since the beginning of this year.

Woy Woy Public School principal Mr Warwick Hannon said this was the first opportunity for many of these students to perform before a large audience.

Many people have contributed to the quality of the performance including two teachers, general assistant Mark McParlane and parent Mary-Anne Millington.

Mr Hannon said they had a support group of over 130 parents and friends travel down.
