For the first time in seven years, Kiama Public School has taken home a NATIONAL STORY AWARD - for excellence in performing arts and raising awareness about the environment for their performance 'Turning the Tide' as part of the 2022 National Wakakirri Story-Dance Festival.
Wakakirri is Australia’s largest performing arts event for schools with over 180 taking part in 2022. Participating schools are inspired by the Wakakirri ethos ‘great stories inspire change’ to create and perform story-dances that reflect students’ thoughts, ideas and aspirations.
Wakakirri Festival Director Adam Loxley said, “The standard of performance and the stories being told by schools this year was exceptional so Kiama Public School should be very proud of their award”.
The Wakakirri panel member Virginia Ferris described the performance as, “A powerful message for climate change”.
Well done to all our students and teachers involved in this year's performance!
