Former Socceroo Captain of Australia Paul Wade was invited to our school at the end of term 1 to give a motivational talk to our Yr12 students. Paul went through the ups and downs of his football career where the highlight for him was to play against the mighty Argentina side in a World Cup decider, which included one the all time great players in Diego Maradonna. Paul had the unenviable task of marking Maradonna on that occasion which he did to his credit. During his presentation to the students he also spoke about his own personal struggles in dealing with epilepsy which has given him a completely different perspective and experience with people living with disabilities. The students were captivated by Paul's passionate and positive attitude to life in the challenges and triumphs he has faced.
