Wakakirri

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in auditions this week. I was very impressed with the amount of effort that students put into their performances, and it was great to see students supporting and encouraging one another. 

This year our Wakakirri troupe will be telling the story of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. This ties in with this year’s theme of ‘Inner Strength’, given the amount of personal and professional challenges Michelle had to overcome in her life and career. 

Our cast is as follows: 

Michelle Payne: Mia Sandford 

Mother & Father: Kahra Przibilla & Cruz Westervelt 

Siblings: Anna Centofanti, Lucia Centofanti, Grace Heuzenroeder, Laura Geyer, Celise Drake, Mary Papadopoulos, Shagun Bisht, Auriea Byreddy, Harper Vallelonga

On Friday, our choir students travelled to the Berri Town Hall for our first cluster rehearsal of the year. We sang alongside several other schools with support from our conductor, Cindy Ridley. Our students demonstrated great participation and sounded awesome!
