We are equally proud of every member who took the floor. Competition is about so much more than results. Having the courage to step onto that floor, perform in front of an audience, support your teammates and give your very best is an achievement in itself.

A huge thank you to our families, teachers, Junior Associates, Physie Mums and supporters who helped throughout the weekend, cheered from the sidelines and made sure every Merriwa competitor felt supported.

For our little club, we certainly made ourselves known at New England Zone! ❤️🖤💛
