Kyogle Public School's Wakakirri performing arts team has progressed to the Queensland state finals at the Logan Entertainment Centre this Wednesday. In a combination of drama and dance, the school performed its piece, Believe in your selfie, the story of an unassuming 10-year-old who is trying to fit in. It was named the best social awareness story award in division 2—one of five schools to make it to the division 2 finals.

I congratulate them and I thank the teachers Taryn Fields, Chiara Cole and Erin Reeves, with the assistance of Bruce Newton, Joy Newman, Barbara Runciman and the 48 students ranging from year 3 to year 6.
