Genesis Performing Arts - Grace in Motion

Our beautiful student, Noa, had her extra long hair cut today for World’s Greatest Shave to raise money for blood cancer. Help her reach her fundraising goal!
Can’t wait to see your new look next week Noa!

Noa V I'm making a hairy sacrifice and joining the World's Greatest Shave! Big or small, every donation counts to help beat blood cancer and I would love your support. You can help me make a difference by donating to my fundraising page.

Wishing all of our beautiful mums a wonderful day. Thank you for everything you do and the way you are raising such caring, respectful and humble children and young adults.
