Peita Mages

About us...

We met playing NCAA Division 1 Tennis for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Yep, Rob's a Yank, but we don't hold that against him! We are the founders of the Clever Cookie Academy, a kick-ass education business which ignites lightbulb moments, fist pumps and personal bests in all 400+ students we are proud to serve. We live in Orange with our own Cookies, Milo and Lola, who inspire us to be the best humans we can be!

We are INCREDIBLY passionate about supporting the splendiferous work of the Cancer Council. Everyone we know has been impacted by cancer. Literally everyone. We're so hopeful to be able to help this wonderful group reach their big hairy target, and are chuffed to be involved in the 10-year anniversary of this spectacular event!

Our dance history is...well, pretty non-existent. Rob wasn't keen to dance at our wedding to put it in perspective. Peita has recently played lead roles in Mamma Mia and The Wedding Singer, however, she's probs more 'double threat' than 'triple' as unlike most of her theatre friends, she was bashing tennis balls around while they studied dance. But make no mistake. At the core, we are FIERCE competitors. What we lack in natural talent, we'll make up for with grit and gumption!

Ruby Tuesday was a massive hit!

❓We're often asked why we run a singing group at CCA? And the answer is sooooo easy! 🥳 Because...Joy 🥰

JOY 🩷🎵 'Sound Squad' simply is a Joy injection.

🍪On Tuesday night our Sound Squad performed a SOLD OUT Ruby Tuesday Agrestic Grocer for Stars of Orange with all proceeds going to Cancer Council NSW.

🪩Even with a scaled down crew (we had 15 members sick, OS, at work, doing life etc) WE ROCKED IT 👏👏👏

🙏Thank you Beau at Agrestic Grocer for having us!

We have never heard people RAVE about food like they did 🙌 Go chef! 🧑‍🍳

🙏Thank you Kate for setting up our gorgeous CCA X Greenwood Earrings range for sale and donating half the profits to Cancer Council NSW 🩷

🙏Thank you to everyone who attended 👏

Finally, thank you to my Sound Squad Sisters 👯‍♀️

If it's a cult, then I'm down to sing with y'all forever! 💅😉

Move over Tay Tay because our mighty Hit and Sip Cookie Cup was an absolute…. Hit 😝!!!!!

🙏We’re absolutely stoked to announce that our event raised OVER $4,000 for Cancer Council NSW and Stars of Orange on a weekend where we are pretty sure 80% of Orange was either boogieing to Taylor Swift or at a 40th Birthday Party! 🥳

We’ll seriously never be able to repay your kindness! 😘 if ANOYONE needs a stylist, Belinda is your girl!

Kirstin Cunningham stood in the blaring sun capturing epic shots making everyone feel like a supermodel! She is truly a talent to behold behind the camera and we are ever grateful for you girl! Need some framers? Hit Kirstin up! 📸

My Mum, Sandra and her neighbour Carol who made the most delish arvo tea! Mum, it’s official – your sauso rolls and scones are the tits! And Carol, your florals were simply chef’s kiss! Sadly, Mum and Carol are not available for hire! Lucky for us 😝

Thanks in advance to our partners 🙏 and Orange Ex-Services Tennis Club for generously donating the use of their cracking facility!

Why are we participating?

We've been impacted by cancer personally and within our beloved Cookie Community. We want to see a cancer-free future as the norm and we never want to see another Cookie losing their parents during their HSC year.

We also want to 'walk the walk.' We encourage our students to push beyond their comfort zones on the daily and now it's our turn to show them that discomfort is the very currency of dreams!

We hope our Cookie Community, as well as our colleagues from our past careers in film and telecommunications, reach into their pockets to help us reach our very audacious goal of the big 10k!

Move over J-Lo and Ricky Martin!

Thank you to my Sponsors

Hey there Clever Cookies and attention to you dancing dynamos, especially those with two left feet (you know who you are, you middle-aged white dancing dads)! 🌟 Whether you're gliding across the dance floor like a ballroom pro or doing the cha-cha slide with a little too much enthusiasm, remember: it's not about the moves, it's about the giggles and the good vibes! 💃🕺 So to our twinkle-toed champs, keep waltzing your way to fundraising fame, and to our rhythmically challenged pal, fear not! Just pretend you're doing the electric slide...constantly. So just dance like nobody's watching (or like everyone's watching and you are totally nailing it, Rob)! 💫💃 #DancingWithTheAlmostStars

It is definitely evident that the dancing talent comes from our family, however to have Rob join you in this creative adventure will add sparkles to this whole event. Robs early experience in ballet will no doubt dazzle the stage. I do hope Peita that you also bring your / hip hopping skills to the table. So looking forward to watch you both up on stage again…. 🙌🏼👏🏼 The only loser in this performance is Cancer. Goodluck!
