The young dancers, under the direction of choreographers Mrs Iliani and Mrs Williamson, worked on their piece for months. The hard work culminated in their performance on August 9.
A judge at the competition said the St Paul's composition was a delightfully fun but relevant issue that affected everyone in society.
"This performance approaches [phone use] in a lovely tongue-in-cheek style which works so well and is very entertaining. Great soundtrack to help drive the thought-line forward and very committed performances from the whole ensemble, a fun piece with a very important message," they said.
The school received an award for best use of the signature item, the sloth, and the Best Raising Awareness Story Award.
