John Coutis from Australia is coming to speak to us about overcoming challenges. Merrin School would like to invite any parents from Westburn School who would be interested.

 John ‘JC’ Coutis is a remarkable Australian who was born with a severe physical disability in which doctors gave him little chance of survival. John has not only defied medical opinion, but he has also thrived and is acknowledged as one of the world’s most inspirational speakers.

Without the lower part of his body, John embraces a full and positive life. He rolls around on his custom skateboard and uses humour to communicate some of life’s most important lessons. John has delivered his inspirational message to over 6 million people around the world, speaking at events to complement former US President Bill Clinton, global entrepreneur Richard Branson, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the late Steven Covey and former South African President Nelson Mandela.

He will be speaking on Wednesday 23rd October from 7 - 8.30pm in the School Hall. Please note this is suitable for Year 3 students and above.

Tickets are free but we need to know numbers.
