CANNONVALE State School students shook off their stage fright and wowed their audience at the Proserpine State High School on Friday.

The dress rehearsal they undertook will be one of their last before heading to Mackay on August 8 to compete in the regional heat of the Wakakirri Primary School Challenge.

Teacher at the Cannonvale State School Amanda Young said the performance was a way for the children to tell their story through dance and music.

"There is no acting, no speaking and no voice-overs, it's all through dance and the music that we choose," she said.

All the costumes have been made by the children and volunteers from recycled material.

The Cannonvale School is part of the Reef Guardian school program, which encourages sustainable practices within the school.

Ms Young said there was a category in the Wakakirri challenge that awarded sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the making of the production.

"We are hoping we will do very well in that area because everything has been recycled," she said.

The students' narrativeis called iSoldier and is a critique on the role screens play in the modern world.

"We are asking the question in the digital age: Are we being taken over and are you unwittingly becoming an iSoldier?" Ms Young said.

"The story depicts children playing in the playground, (and) the arrival of the digital technology (which is) presented as people turning into drones."

Following the arrival of the drones "everyone is doing the same and looking at their iPad," Ms Young said.

Apart from addressing a serious issue, Ms Young said the kids loved the production and were looking forward to performing it on stage in the competition at Mackay on Monday.
