This year during Mental Health Awareness Week, I built on the work I did last year – spreading knowledge of Sign Language.  During form time, I worked with forms in years 7 and 8 to spread awareness of how useful signing can be.

I taught all the students how to sign ‘mental health awareness week’.  As a CODA – Child of A Deaf Parent – it was really nice to see so many students interested in sign language and participating enthusiastically. As this was so popular, the college is now looking to make this into a regular club!

I can’t wait to share more of this really important skill with the college community again.
