What students are saying about the JM Day Retreats.
“10/10 Dear Az,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for inspiring me and teaching me so much today. My day started off terribly and when I came in and listed to your stories and your lessons I realized that things really aren’t that bad. You taught me I need to be positive, be grateful and to make sure that the people I love know just how much I care about them. You’ve taught me the power of prayer and you’ve completely changed my life. Thank you for being so inspirational. - Amy K

“Over all my years at school I’ve had many of these similar days/workshops where people come in and talk about God and of amazing things that happen but today was much different to any other time! I came into the room not 100% sure about my beliefs. I’ve never had a real understanding about having compassion, giving and making a difference until today. Az talks about his life experiences which really made me look at everything differently. From now on I’ll take on all my mistakes as a lesson and all of my triumphs as a blessing. Thank you - Tess

“Az, today was a great experience for me. I’ll admit at first I wasn’t sure if I believed you or not but throughout the day you changed my mind and changed the way I look at myself and others around me. You have inspired me to be a better person, thank you. 10/10 Day! – Natasha”
“All though some people might not believe in the whole God thing your stories will always have a huge impact. It shows that if you faith some amazing things can happen which is quite inspirational. You have taught me that I need to have faith in not only myself but others who are around me to support me. 10/10
THANKYOU! - Adam

“Hey Az Melgie here…
I was fascinated and blessed by your stories. I’m so glad that you’ve done your part of what God wants us to do. I’m a religious Christian myself and at school you couldn’t really show the faith and knowledge that you have because they’ll think you’re weird or whatever. But Yeah! I guess now that I’ve seen you do something, in your own way, I think I could do the same! Thanks! Very Inspirational.

“10/10 I really enjoyed today. Loved the games! Love the talks and stories. Keep it up! – Sidney”
“9.5/10 Your stories are really interesting and inspiring. I feel like I can make a change with my negative attitude and self-centred actions. I feel my eyes have been opened and I recognize my issues. And how other might see me and how I treat them. Thanks for challenging me. – Ebony ”
“AZZ!!! 10/10 Very Inspirational, Games brought out my confidence. Make sure you do this for year 12’s every year. – Mady”
“ I would really just like to thank Az for the great day that he put on yesterday I walked away feeling as though my head had been cleared and I knew what I was doing again with all of my assessment etc.
During the afternoon of his presentation my biology assignment wasn’t on my USB anymore and it is due fairy soon and I was almost finished. Normally what I would do is panic and have a massive cry over it, but because of the last part of Az’s session was about these inconveniences that happen in life I was able to remain calm and tell myself that everything will turn out alright in the end, and even though I do feel a little bit stressed over it now that I have lost it, I feel more in control and like I am able to put it behind me and soldier on to start it again.
So thank you so much Az for yesterday! I can’t put into words how much your session has already helped me and it has only been one day!
Thanks again Mia Jordon.”
