Students to hear better
STUDENTS at Canecutters Cluster of Schools will be able to hear better following a donation of two special audio speakers.
Valued at $4408, Innisfail Lions Club’s donation of a FrontRow Juno sound field system will allow students to be more engaged in learning environments.
Club president Christine Pasco said the donation would provide many benefits for students.
“Juno system evenly fills the classroom with the teachers’ voice, allowing students to hear easily and clearly in the classroom, but also when learning remotely,” she said.
“Its intelligent digital platform enables voice command control and automated video capture of the lesson being taught, and can automatically upload the video to a desired platform or website.
“We donated two (sound field systems) to improve the learning of hearing-impaired students in the special education program.
“This new (sound field system) helps greatly with giving students clearer instructions.
“(The system) can also save teachers’ voices.”
Located in the Innisfail area, the Canecutter Cluster special education program supports local cluster primary school students with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities as well as hearing, speech, visual and physical impairments.
Currently supporting about 70 students across cluster primary schools, the program assists classroom teachers in the development and delivery of authentic student learning.
