Parents, caregivers and family members were treated to a performance from Trinity Kindy kids on Friday, November 25.
The annual nativity showcase is a highlight on the kindergarten calendar, having been in operation on stage for more than 20 years with hundreds of pre-schoolers having taken on the role of Mary, Joseph, the three wise men, angels, barn animals and even Santa and his elves over the years.
This year 22 rising stars took the stage to perform in front of cheering family members and teaching staff.
Head teacher Engela Nel said the nativity performance is an important event for the early childcare centre because it offers children an opportunity to develop communication skills, be part of a collaborative learning environment and experience stories and symbols of their own and other cultures.
“Our nativity is linked to our philosophy and goals based on Christian faith. There is also a strong focus on building a sense of belonging for our rising stars,” Nel says.
“Performing on stage is a great confidence booster. The applause and cheers the children hear from the audience is very uplifting and deeply encouraging to even the most nervous and uncertain little performer.”
