Nisha Lobo is an alumnus of TRIO. She attended TRIO from 2009 to 2018. (Grade 3 to Grade 12). Nisha was born with Ichthyosis, a rare genetic disorder. Her story has been one filled with challenges posed by her condition, from an early age, ones she has courageously faced and overcome. She arrived at TRIO in 2009 and enrolled as a student of 2009. She thrived as a student, in TRIO’s inclusive learning environment, with the help of her incredibly supportive family, peers and teachers. She has spoken publicly about her life in an inspiring TEDx talk “Respond: Don’t React” at TEDxBESC.

We are rightly proud of Nisha and her achievements and we would recommend that you take the time to listen to her interviews and talks.

As a school we see it as our role to assist those who wish to live a fulfilling life, and in this case we have been rewarded by an inspirational student who is independent, hard working and has a focus that we would all be proud of.
