My daughter, a student at St Margaret's School, has benefited enormously from the school's hearing unit. She attended a school without such a unit in the past, and the difference in her development has been amazing since she became a part of St Margaret’s community. It is heartbreaking to think what eliminating this unit would do to students like my daughter.

According to the National Deaf Children's Society (2019), specialized school units for children with hearing impairments play a critical role in their education and overall development. The School's hearing unit has made an immeasurable difference in the lives of its students, and shutting it down would rob them of the quality education they need and deserve. These children, like my daughter, have thrived in an environment that caters to their specific needs.

Support us in our fight to keep this invaluable institution alive and functioning, so that every child with hearing difficulties has the chance to thrive in an environment supportive of their needs. Help us ensure that no child is denied the right to quality education because of their hearing impairment.

Please, sign this petition to prevent the closure of the hearing unit at St Margaret's School.
