Wakakirri State Finals 2018

We Won!!

On 12 September 2018, 90 Level 5 and 6 students represented Jells Park Primary School in the Wakakirri State Finals at The Palais Theatre in St Kilda. We travelled by bus very early in the morning for our dress rehearsals. The students were both excited, nervous and taken back by the beauty of the Palais Theatre. As they walked on stage for their dress rehearsal they were amazed by the size of the venue and thrilled by the fact they would be performing in front of so many people. We were lucky enough to be housed backstage at Luna Park. Hair and makeup took all day and the children were so well behaved. We performed our show late in the evening, the kids were tired yet still ready to perform for the last time. As we heard the words ‘Division 1 winner for 2018 is ………. Jells Park Primary School’ screams, hugs and tears were shared as we all celebrated the hard work and commitment to the Wakakirri performance by all students and staff involved. Well done Jells Park on this incredible achievement. We now await the results of the National Award on 17 October 2018.
