Mr. Shane Hamilton:

In Holy Family, we do not have any languages other than ISL. It is difficult for many of the students in Holy Family. Most of them can talk but some are fully deaf. Some of them come from other countries. We have students from Latvia, Nigeria and Estonia and they are already learning a new sign language. It would be extra difficult if they had to learn Irish, Spanish or German on top of that. How would they even be able to speak the language if they do not know how to speak or if they have lived their whole lives just signing? It would be very difficult for them to do so.
