On Wednesday Craigburn Primary was very lucky to have a special visitor.
It was Lorin Nicholson. Lorin is a motivational speaker and one of Australia’s leading guitarists. Lorin has been legally blind since birth but hasn’t let that stop him from achieving some amazing things. In 2009 he was nominated for Young Australian of the Year for his work in the community, he has ridden a bicycle from Perth to Sydney – over 4000km and he loves to work in schools and talk with students about his hopes and aspirations.
As a part of Lorin’s See Sharp presentation he delivers a messages about:
- Choice & Attitude
- Overcoming negativity & Peer Pressure
- Teasing/Bullying
- Respect & Inclusion
- Resilience & Perseverance
- Confidence & Self Esteem
- Setting & Achieving Goals
- Building Future Leaders & Striving for Excellence
The class has talked so positively about Lorin’s visit – they loved the entire performance. He certainly got his message across to the entire audience.
Here are some photos of the presentation.
I really wish I had been free to see this amazing man speak. You’re all very lucky to have had the chance to hear what Lorin had to say. I’m sure it was very inspiring and I hope you remember him when things seem hard. Always think “I can” rather than “I can’t” 🙂 x
