NAZARETH DAY – Talent Quest

Nazareth Day is always a day for Performing Arts to shine! The Wheeler Auditorium stage was jamming all day with a variety of musical performances that attracted a variety of student crowds. As per tradition, Nazareth Day concluded with the Naz Talent Quest for the whole school in the Auditorium. Our students have not skipped a beat since 2019 and the Naz Talent Quest was a huge success. The energy levels, both backstage and in the audience, were super high and all the performances were fantastic! Congratulations to all students who performed – many in their first ever Naz Day Talent Quest. Special mention to Damon Weibgen of Year 11 who took home the trophy with an incredible dance routine.
