During our time at Vaughn Park the Learning Coaches and Strategic Leadership Team had the opportunity to learn some New Zealand Sign Language with Pam from the Kelston Deaf Education Centre. This session was a “voice off” session so we had to pick things up very fast! We learnt greetings, colours and how to finger spell. This has now lead to us learning many more signs over the last two weeks and trying to remember all the new signs we have learnt! A great introduction to help us develop our inclusive learning environment.
