Our Deaf Children Australia families in Tasmania had a wonderful day out on Saturday 6 December, exploring the Port Arthur Historic Site. It was a great mix of learning, adventure and time together.
We walked through the historic grounds and learned how convicts lived, worked and ate. It felt like stepping back in time and was a very visual way to learn, which suited the kids perfectly.
At lunch, everyone joined in games like mushroom tag and four corners. There was lots of running, laughing and plenty of happy energy. After that, we took a cruise to the Isle of the Dead, a tiny island full of history and stories.
To finish the day, the children worked together on a scavenger hunt, solving riddles and matching buildings on the map. There was so much teamwork and excitement.
Days like this strengthen our deaf community in Tasmania and give families valuable support and connection.
