Stories from the kids

Hi, my name is Hayley and I am only 11 years old. I am in Grade 6.
I play Hockey for Girls U14 for Y/C. I have a brother; his name is Josh. I have 8 people who I live with. It is very annoying living with an aunty who is 12 years old, and two uncles, one is 14 and one is 16! My class teacher is very nice. I am an athletic person. I am a very fast runner. I win lots of medals for the carnival. I want to be a hairdresser one day."

Hi! My name is Johanna. I am in Year 7. I am profoundly Deaf. My young brother William, my parents and godfather are also Deaf. My best friend is Amy. She can sign well. I have taught all my friends at school. My Mum gave my family a new puppy named Romeo, last Christmas. He is a black Labrador X German Shepherd, 10 months old. He is really naughty.

Thank you, Johanna.
