The girls were an integral part of the BJP 125 Year Spectacular Show, displaying the history of Physie in Australia since 1892.
In the lead up to the show, the girls were required to travel to Sydney for several rehearsal days. They had the opportunity to meet other Physie girls and make new friendships.
During the finale, the arena stage was packed with just under 2000 performers from around the country.
Audience members also participated with pink torches and enjoyed two hours of non-stop dance, music, costume and colour.
It was a night of entertainment that celebrated Physie’s proud history.
From Desert Peas to Water Lillies, the WSHPC girls were a part of the segment that explored the theme of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The audience gasped as the performers danced in formation and then turned the switch to light up their amazing costumes.
Some of the girls were fortunate enough to be able to wear unique historical pieces from the 2000 Sydney Olympics too.
The event was definitely a memory that each of the girls will remember for a long time to come.
A big congratulations to the Wollondilly and Southern Highlands PCC BJP 125 Year Spectacular performers which included, Molly Stein, Chloe Timores, Victoria James, Cassandra Deshto, Zoe Molino, Kezia Woods, Laura Jamieson, Eryn Rynehart, Angel Waterhouse, Kloe and Emilie Robinson, Abbey Horne, Danielle Horne, Annie White, Alexe Murray, Mackenzie Dickson, Leah Tinning, Alison Berki and Stephanie Gale.
Mrs Diane Gardiner (Club President and instructress) was also involved in the production.
Jackie Rawlings, Managing Director of Physical Culture said she was incredibly proud of the work that thousands of volunteers have put in over 125 years to create such an important legacy for the country.
“Physie aims to empower girls and we do that in a number of ways,” she said.
“We prioritise the development of self-esteem in our students. We teach them to have a positive relationship with their bodies and help students blossom with confidence and self-assurance.
“The reason we think Physie has withstood the test of the time is the supportive and nurturing community and the fact that generations of women can participate and compete [in an environment] together.”
