The Road Ahead – Beatty Sec HL students
The Hearing Loss (HL) students from Beatty Secondary School performed this year’s National Day theme song – The Road Ahead, through song-signing as part of their school’s 56th National Day performance.
The song speaks of overcoming adversity and odds in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a great opportunity for the students to share signs with the entire school in an effort to build #Deafawareness and appreciation of sign language. Check out their stunning performance!
