YOU ARE ENOUGH
Ms Wong’s ATAR English class had the pleasure of meeting Greens Senator, Jordon Steele-John. In prior weeks, the class had studied his chapter from the anthology Growing up Disabled in Australia titled “You are enough”. The chapter is a transcript from an interview where Jordon discusses his personal life and his journey to embracing his disability and advocating for others.
During his visit, a well-balanced mix of humour and discussion gave insight into who Jordon is as a person, making the experience “both eye opening and entertaining.”
“The Senator was very well-spoken and wise and provided us with valuable life advice which prompted us to reassess our values and attitudes, think about our stance on many issues and shape our perspectives.” In summary, the meeting with Senator Steele-John was enriching, unique and powerful.
Thank you to Senator Jordon for visiting Rossmoyne.
