Well Done to our 5th Years students for coordinating a meeting in DVI to create a new standard sign in ISL for 'LIONS'. It was an informative meeting about the Lions International, a charitable organisation and their contribution to Holy Family School for the Deaf The discussion on the creation and


development of the new sign was very interesting. We will video this sign soon and share with the Deaf Community for feedback. We would like to thank everyone for coming to our meeting and supporting this initiative.
