John Coutis

We had a wonderful morning on Thursday with our special guest, John ‘JC’ Coutis. John delighted an audience of about 70 parents and staff during his breakfast presentation. John shared his life story with us – having us in tears and then in fits of laughter. He was engaging and funny all while inspiring and challenging us to live life to the full.

Our students from Yr 3- 10 were also treated to John’s warmth and humour during the 2 sessions he conducted. John was able to engage with the students whilst sharing his story and they were horrified to hear of how badly John was bullied as a young student. John taught us that we are all capable of doing anything we set our minds too despite whatever challenges we face. John is living proof of this! John is a huge believer in the importance of setting goals and it is fabulous to see the students writing down their goals in class.

After the presentations the students queued to have selfies with John or meet him in person. We also welcomed Prime 7 news and Cootamundra Herald journalists to showcase our event.

Special thanks to Chris Edwards School of Dance and the Sacred Heart P&F for generous donations towards this event.
