๐ญ Be The Witness Musical โ๏ธ Our Stage 3 students were privileged to experience Be The Witness at the Riverside theatre in Parramatta. Be The Witness is a call to reflect on the power of discipleship, the cost of following Jesus, and the quiet, world-changing choices we make through faith, compassion and love in action. More than just a musical, it was a shared and uplifting experience that encouraged our students to think deeply about their own faith and how they can live out the message of Jesus in their everyday lives. We are grateful that our Stage 3 students had this wonderful opportunity to strengthen their faith, reflect on the Gospel and be reminded of what it truly means to be the witness. What a wonderful experience for our students! โค๏ธ

We are incredibly proud of Isabella and the effort, perseverance and skill she has demonstrated to make it this far. Public speaking is not easy and is often considered one of peopleโs greatest fears, but Isabella has embraced the challenge and continues to thrive in front of an audience. Her confidence, preparation and ability to communicate her ideas are a wonderful reflection of her commitment and determination. The whole St Nicholas of Myra school community wishes you all the very best today, Isabella. We are so proud of you! Go Isabella! Weโre cheering you on! ๐๐ค
