Last week some of our children and families were lucky enough to hear the inspiring John Coutis speak in our own hall.

John came all the way from Australia to talk to schools around New Zealand. He shared his life story with us and the challenges he has overcome in his lifetime. He told us both sad and happy stories and talked to us about the importance of embracing life.

John was very inspiring to listen to and had many powerful messages to share.

The feedback from the evening was very positive and everyone that went really enjoyed the evening. 

Some feedback from the children that went:

"He was really fun, he had a lot of perseverance and it doesn't matter you look like on the outside, its what's on the inside." - Tom C

It was really inspirational. It's okay to be different. I recommend it for all ages." - Alana T

" I asked dad a question and his response was maybe and I told him there are no maybe's, should's or not sure,  its a yes or a no. I really enjoyed getting to meet him and talking to him afterwards" - Cameron K

It is so cool to see Cameron using what John taught him about how to answer questions in life!
