On Monday night, we were incredibly proud to be invited to perform this year’s winning NOW Festival piece ‘Behind Closed Doors’ at the official launch of ‘What If’, a powerful children’s book by former St Julie’s student Sophie Melia, exploring the impact of ACES.

Our students delivered a deeply moving performance, bringing their story of young carers to life with such honesty and emotion. 

It was an evening filled with reflection, empathy, and important messages, a reminder to all of us, especially young people, to be kind and to check in on one another. We couldn’t be prouder of how our performers represented St Julie’s and helped share such an important story.
