Wakakirri

Wakakirri is Australia’s largest performing arts event for schools which celebrates telling story through dance.

‘Waka’ is a much loved Mt Dandenong tradition with generations of students having taken part over the past 15 years. For a small school, Mt Dandenong also has a fantastic record at Waka, having made the finals a number of times.

We also pride ourselves on Waka being a true community effort – our school community comes together to create all of the wonderful costumes and sets, plus to promote whole-school collaboration, we open Waka to the younger students so that everyone from Year 1 onwards can be part of the Waka experience.
