We were visited by local author Michael McCarthy. We were all intrigued to hear how Michael, who is registered blind, has limited long-term memory and has learning difficulties, has overcome different challenges to achieve his goal to become an author.
We also found out how he has cycled from London to Paris, completed the London Marathon and won a gold medal in swimming at an international level.
He has great determination and his message was to set a goal and ‘get on with it’ and that you can achieve beyond what you think you’re capable of. This ties really well with our school vision to ‘Aim High, Climb Higher.’
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have been given a copy of one of his books each and a copy will be in our school Library.
