As the Tokyo 2020 Olympics officially kick off tonight, we wish all the best to former SPC student Nathan Pellissier, who is making his first appearance at the Paralympics in Tokyo as one of three captains of Australia's table tennis squad.

Nathan has been representing Australia in table tennis since he was in Year 8, and has won gold medals at several international competitions as he has worked towards his dream of representing his country at the Paralympic Games.

In between training, Nathan has also managed to complete a Bachelor of Business, and is now studying for a Masters of Professional Accounting and Finance while working part-time at a legal office.

Good luck!
