The school's dancers have been rehearsing for five months in breaks, after school and from 9am to 4pm each Sunday.
Teacher Te Ao Tahana-Prangnell is there day-in, day-out giving up her spare time "all for the love" while juggling her teaching role and being a mother-of-three.
"I give my heart and soul to these kids because they deserve it," she told the Rotorua Daily Post.
Her main goal is to help them believe in themselves.
She runs a tuakana-teina model where seniors mentor juniors, bringing new leaders through each year.
"They're learning to collaborate with each other ... When they come across something that's not working they have to solve it very quickly and they're working under pressure."
Intensified choreographer Ngawai Clendon, who is in Year 12, said the results were "exhilarating".
"We knew that we deserved to win, however it felt too good to be true."
Fellow Intensified choreographer Sam Patangan (Year 11) said the rehearsals "really paid off".
He is looking forward to helping lead the senior dancers in his last two years of school.
Year 12 student Shawney Magill, a Genesis choreographer, said the group discussed every move together "so we are all on the page with all our practices".
Haeun Kang, a Year 12 who choreographs the Posterity mega crew, said the dancers were passionate.
"We all want to do good for our school."
Many of the dancers have also been involved in the Western Heights High School's ShowQuest entry which won the regional competition and came third nationally.
Rotorua Girls' High School dancer Ngatahi Webster-Tarei was also first runner-up in the Year 9 solo category.
