BEACONHILLS Berwick students are born performers.
Twenty-five dance and glee students travelled to the Gold Coast on Thursday 13 August to compete at the TFT Sports and Event Management Dance Star and Glee National Championship.
Over three days, the students competed with nine dance entries and three glee entries at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The students have been training since February at morning, lunch and after school, with their efforts being rewarded through placing in the top three in 10 of their entries.
Dance teacher and co-ordinator Stephanie Borrie is proud of their efforts.
“They are all hard-working and dedicated students with a huge amount of talent,” she said.
“All of the students were amazing on and off stage, demonstrating fantastic sportsmanship and support for one another.”
Performing arts scholar Darion Gandhi said winning the national championships the first time with Beaconhills was a great achievement.
“Being my first years as a dance scholar with BHC and giving my best at the Nationals has given me so much confidence that yes, I can achieve more,” he said.
“This is just the beginning.”
