Community Speaker at St Philip Neri Catholic School
St Philip Neri Catholic School received a grant last year from Willoughby Council to host Community Speakers focused on the wellbeing of our children. The second Community Speaker for the year is John Coutis who will be presenting on Thursday 20th September at 6.30pm.
John Coutis 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 tens of thousands of adoring fans to block out the negatives and be the best that they can be.
This event is open for you and your children to attend together. It has been subsidised by a Willoughby Council Community Grant and is non-profit.
