Inspiring Visit from Paralympian Jessica Smith: Empowering Minds & Celebrating Inclusion

This week, our students were honored to welcome Jessica Smith, Australian Paralympian, author, and motivational speaker. Jessica delivered a heartfelt and powerful talk that truly moved our school community.

She shared her personal journey with honesty and strength, inspiring students to embrace their uniqueness, overcome challenges, and lead with empathy. The audience was fully engaged, listening intently, asking insightful questions, and reflecting on her message about confidence, kindness, and resilience.

Following the talk, a group of our students had the opportunity to host a podcast interview with Jessica, diving deeper into themes of identity, courage, and positive mindset. It was a proud moment seeing our students lead the conversation with maturity and curiosity.

This visit beautifully aligned with our school’s commitment to inclusion, while also supporting the spirit of the Dubai Fitness Challenge by highlighting determination, perseverance, and the importance of believing in oneself.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Jessica for her inspiring presence and to our dedicated students and staff who helped make this event such a success.

Together, we continue to build a community where every student feels empowered to grow, move, and make a difference — both inside and outside the classroom.
