Wakakirri Dance Competition

Last month, 38 children from Samaritan College participated in the Wakakirri Dance Competition, which celebrates storytelling through dance.  This required families to travel to Adelaide for two nights, a significant financial commitment for families in our regional community.  The students won a State Award and were invited to perform at the official awards night in Adelaide on the 11th of September.  This was an incredible achievement for the children, for Whyalla, and for regional arts, and a chance for them to showcase their talent on a State stage.

With support from the Rotary Club of Whyalla and College families and the dedication of teachers Mrs Murray, Miss Jodie, Mrs Edwards and some amazing parents the children were able to return for the awards night and perform on 11 September.

Mrs Murray has agreed to come along and tell us about this incredible journey.
