Brown was accompanied by gold-medal winning skier Adam Hall.
The pair have spoken at several primary schools around Central Otago. Brown said the visits had been an invigorating experience.
"The enthusiasm of everyone and the way they flood you with questions after their [initial] shyness is great," she said.
Brown was a 12-year-old pupil at the school when she first strapped on a snowboard to try to "copy my brother," she told the senior pupils.
Brown and her brother, Mitchell, have since represented New Zealand at back-to-back Winter Olympics at Torino and Vancouver.
Adaptive skier Hall brought along the gold medal he won in the slalom event at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and the "bling" proved an inspired choice for show-and-tell.
The Outram-born athlete, who has spina bifida, told pupils and staff he was living proof that anything and everything was possible if you worked hard and aimed for your dreams.
Brown was New Zealand's best-performed athlete at the Vancouver Olympics in February when she finished 15th after the snowboarding half-pipe semifinals, while Hall stormed home to win gold by the merest of margins after crashing during his second slalom ski run at the Paralympic Games in March.
A street parade to honour Hall, the Otago sportsperson of the year, starts in Wanaka at 3.30pm today.
