As a parent to one of these children I am forever grateful to Paula Grimmer James Blythe for providing and supporting them through this amazing opportunity.

I shed tears of joy watching these kids perform in such a memorable event. I will watch this again.
I cried watching this. Inspiring and moving. Magic. The children were incredible.
Very inspiration love it
It was so wonderful to see all the students signing at the Grand final. I worked at before and aftercare for two years at st Albans east primary and I used to watch everyone sign the national anthem for assembly and it always brought a tear to my eye. Arden I see has grown up so much into such a beautiful young lady from the young preppy she was back then but she taught me so much about sign language and it's importance in our community to be understood and heard. What a proud moment it must have been for you all.
Well done
