It follows the journey ofa young boy who plays 3 levels inside the computer game, "Power". During the first two levels of the game (adventure and fame) hequickly runs out of power as he keeps all of the prizes for himself. Playing the third level, humanity, he decides to share his prizes withother characters instead of keeping them for himself. As a resultof this sharing he generates enough power to finish the game aswell as bringing all of the characters back to life.The idea behind Wakakirri is to tell a story which makes apositive impact on the world. Students are judged on dance,music, sets, props, costumes, storyline, teamwork, behaviour anditem sustainability.96 boys from the Junior School competed at the Hills Centre inAugust. We won the award for the best school in public andgained a gold award for our sets and props. This performanceearned us a place in the Grand final at the Sydney EntertainmentCentre in September where, once again, we won the award forthe best school in public. We were also awarded second place inthe competition.Mrs Michelle Rollins(Music/Drama Coordinator Junior School)11Rose Bay Drive InLiquor StoreFine Wine & SpiritsGreat Service & RangeOPENMon - Sat 8.30am - 8.00pmSunday 10.00am - 6.00pmPhone 9371 9306 9371 9608Fax 9371 6343Cnr.
