School principal Andrew Haley even makes an appearance, and attempts the popular dance move ‘the floss’.

Mr Haley said when they shared the video on the school’s Facebook page, they expected to get a few hundred views.

It now has 15,000 likes and 1.1 million views.

“It’s going viral which is awesome, it’s so good for our little school as well, we have 255 kids here and it’s just been great for morale in the community,” Mr Haley said.

“Lots of families are coming in, the kids are all smiling, we love having fun at school, and it’s just another way we’ve done that but this time the world’s getting to see us have fun.”

But he doesn’t have plans to quit his career in education for a dancing career just yet.

“I probably need a few more practise sessions before that,” he said.

“All the kids love doing the floss, at school you see them doing it, and I know I’m not a strong dancer but I was sure I could get this three-beat dance.

“I’ve got kids of my own and my 7-year-old helped me learn the floss and I think I just managed to pull it off.”
