Nemingha Public competed against teams from ten other regions proving small regional schools can certainly play in the big league.
Teacher Lauren Bowman facilitated the team during their six week preparation before the regional final and then the big one at the state final.
"The seven students involved worked collaboratively to solve an authentic and open ended question in the Arts discipline during the six week challenge," Mrs Bowman said.
"After winning their section at regional level, they came up with a creative response and preformed well to a large audience.
"They should be proud of this achievement.
"Well done."
It's the furthest the school has ever made it in the competition.
