Mr Gasengayire, refugee and former Orara High School student, was interviewed by Melissa Martin, ABC journalist, talking about his experiences as a refugee, as a student new to Australia, and coming back to his old high school as a mathematics teacher.

The interview aired last night and can be viewed at 27:30 min into the program.

You can also read about his experiences as a refugee, student and staff member of Orara High School.

Mr Gasengayire's story is admirable and inspirising, and we at Orara High School feel very privileged to be part of his journey.
