ALSO MAKING NEWS:
The students' focus was to develop and practice ways to build a rapport with the Stepping Stones children.
"Our students introduced the younger children to AUSLAN and showed them how to sign some letters of the alphabet," Mrs. Fistr said.
"The project had given our students the ability reach curriculum outcomes in PDHPE as well as develop their skills in communication."
Mrs Fistr said students read the situation and were flexible in the moment, which lead to positive learning experiences.
Student Breeanna Besant was among those who thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
"We taught some of the kids how to finger spell their names in AUSLAN and played with them in the playground," Breeanna said.
"It was a very fun visit. "It was such a success when the children engaged and learnt along with us."
