NZSL Week

This Week is NZSL week and we kicked it off with a bang on Friday. Thanks to Kat our tutor from Deaf Aotearoa who gave us our first taster for sign language. I asked all the Sprint classes if they were excited to learn more and lots of hands went up. It was fantastic to see Springston kid's being A+ accepting and adventurous in trying a new language. I'm excited to learn and teach more!!
