At Saturday's Infinite Spirit All-Stars Cheer and Dance Championships at Kingston, Allstar Cheer and Dance Tasmania blew away the competition.
Co-founder and coach Dee Gillen said they went to Kingston with 20 routines.
They won with 15, and placed in the other five.
"We honestly did not expect the weekend to be so successful; it has been a hard few weeks losing four athletes to injury heading into the week of competition," she said.
"The squads adapted quickly and just knew they had to make it work."
Alongside those wins, the school also took out Grand Champions in dance and novice cheer.
Further recognition was also acknowledged at the competition, with two teams receiving a bid to next year's Aloha Spirit Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The bids are given out by invitation only, awarded to the competition's best.
On Friday, the school's Team Aphrodite will fly to Wellington, New Zealand to compete in the Ministry of Cheer Championship.
The school began in February 2017, and is run by Gillen and Tanya Lanham.
