Guest Speaker for Deaf Awareness Week
On Wednesday 04 May, we will be joined by Christine Steward from Sensing Change. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn from and connect with those who work within the deaf community as part of Deaf Awareness Week. The visit will be an exciting chance for our students to meet potential connection and bring awareness.
