‘I CAN’ is the motto we should all live by!
Trish Jackson is an amazing inspiration for Year 5M and other upper school classes at Newtown State School. Born with no arms she has learnt to do everything with her legs including some lovely art she chose to share with students. Trish told us that when she walks down the street people call her mean names, which she has learnt to overcome during her life where everything has been tough and done differently.
Trish encouraged the students to give everything their best especially when it’s tough. The art she shared allowed the students to draw lovely Australian animals and scenes.
‘We know we can- ‘cause Trish has proven that to us!’ said one 5M student.
