Pupils from Canossian School, a special education school for those with hearing loss, mingling with pupils from Canossa Catholic Primary School during a physical education lesson last week at the Canossian Village in MacPherson. Sister Theresa Seow, Sister supervisor of the Canossian Village, says: "We pray that when our children leave us to go to other schools, they will promote inclusion wherever they are and be a catalyst for change in society."

In the nearly borderless space of schools and services started by the Canossian Sisters, the saying that it takes a village to raise a child rings true.
The 1.75ha Canossian Village in MacPherson houses not only a pre-school, a primary school and a special education school for children with hearing loss, it also offers early intervention for pre-schoolers with hearing loss, after-school care, social work, counselling and therapy support, as well as assistance to low-income families.
