JOHN COUTIS VISIT On Monday 12th February, we were lucky enough to have John Coutis visit our students to speak about his life. He is an exceptional person. Born with a severe disability that rendered him a double amputee, John defied medical opinion by refusing to die. Today he gets around on a skateboard and travels the world inspiring people to block out the negatives and be the best that they can be. John spoke to our students from Years 7 through to 12 about tackling life head on and accepting all the challenges that life throws at us, regardless of our circumstances. He inspired many students and staff throughout the sessions, with a few tears shed listening to his experiences with bullies and illnesses. We hope to see John again during the year!
