Gaining confidence and starting school

Ali Winter - Resource Teacher of the Deaf and Jacqui McIntosh - Team Lead Outreach School & Resource Teacher of the Deaf —

A young Ashburton student takes big strides in her learning.

This year Stella Robinson has gone from strength to strength in her confidence. She drew a piano keyboard on her card and then shared it for her first-ever ‘news’ at Allenton Kindergarten in Ashburton. It takes courage to stand up in front of a group to speak and you did it so well, congratulations.

In Term 4 Stella started school at St Joseph’s in Ashburton. She has made friends, enjoys playing on the monkey bars and already knows the classroom routines. Stella is well-liked by her classmates and has performed in her first school production.

Nice work Stella.
