Footsie Photos
Thank you card from Ingham State School.
I really enjoyed my talk at this school and was honoured that they asked me to judge their photographic competition that they had running.
I must say I was totally impressed with the quality of the photographs that the students had taken. Choosing a first, second and third was a very difficult task. There is some awesome talent coming through from this school..
I received this lovely card and book from the school that I gave talks to last week.

Hi Trish,
Thank you so much for yesterday! It was great! Here’s a little review for you guys to use as you please! Good luck with the rest of your tip!
Trish’s story is captivating and inspirational. The students were thoroughly engaged. It’s a great experience and gives the students some wonderful perspective about their lives. Drawing with their feet was also a huge hit even with the big kids!

Trish,
I just wanted to thank you both for coming to share your time with us at Ayr High.
In a world where students are used to being told what to do and how to do it, your story is appealing because it is a life story of overcoming challenges, and many young people feel they are facing challenges. It was clear from the comments I heard between students as they walked out that they had been impacted by what they heard.
Your key messages are really on point for young people. The message of pursuing our goals and dreams despite adversity and barriers is never more real than when said by someone who has lived their life that way. I think the inspiration that follows is that it all of us can face our challenges and never give-up. You are a living walking example of why we all need to appreciate and accept difference. It is often those differences that create opportunities for our strengths.
I wish you all the best as you continue to travel and speak. I’m sure others will be inspired by you as our students were.
Warmest thanks,
Andrew Ballin

I had the pleasure of speaking at Fraser Coast Anglican College in Hervey Bay, to their students in grades 11 and 12’s.
My talk was about my life, growing up, school, working, bullying and acceptance, and to never give up..
Feedback from students at Fraser Coast Anglican College after my talk:
Your speech was wonderful and it gave us a real insight into the everyday challenges you have and how you have overcome them, it makes our lives seem so much easier. It was very inspiring to hear how you never gave up even when some people had horrible things to say to you. You are a real trooper and we are very happy that you came to our school to share your story.

“We recently had the pleasure of hosting Trish Jackson at our school, who spoke to the students about living life to its fullest, and how to show persistence and resilience. Some children had the chance to write their name with their feet, or drink from a mug without using their arms – they loved the experience. Great stuff! Thanks Trish! We loved your positive, can-do attitude!”
Kind regards,
Phil

All of our staff & students were inspired to hear Trish’s story. She presented it with facts and humour. You can see that she had to overcome many obstacles, and she did overcome them with such strength, and in fact every day she still needs to overcome obstacles as she goes through life in constant pain.
I was left feeling touched by her story and in awe of her inner strength.
Thank you Trish for educating our students in so many areas, educational as well as personal.
Your story stayed with us all for a long time.

Next week I have two school visits booked, plus popping into another school for a chat about a future visit to their school.
I am heading north to Maryborough and Hervey Bay, looking forward to it.
