Hear our Heart Ear Bus Project

31/03/2026

We had a wonderful time at the recent Cradle to Classroom Information Day for new Australians 💛

Hear Our Heart's Healthy Ears Teacher, Donna Lumber, was there sharing ear health and hearing information with families, helping raise awareness about the importance of healthy ears for learning and development.

It was such a fantastic concept, bringing together a range of services in one place to support families with valuable information and resources. It was especially great to see so many parents and carers engaging, asking questions, and connecting with services available to them.

A huge thank you to Lorna for organising such a successful and meaningful event, and to Sharon, Principal of Dubbo South Public School, for your support and warm hospitality.

We’re proud to be part of initiatives that support strong, healthy starts for children in our community 🌱

What a great idea.
We promote Auslan not only for hard of hearing children, but for all children. You would be pleasantly surprised how many childcare centres we visit that use Auslan for key words with their children. It’s great for all children, especially those that cannot communicate.

Turn your next school event into something truly inclusive. Introduce Auslan Spelling Bee in your school where every child can join in, learn fingerspelling, and celebrate communication in all its forms.

Support your deaf and hard of hearing students by getting involved.

A great way to teach the younger kiddos how to blow their nose.

✅ The earlier they master nose owing
the healthier their ears will be

We always ❤️ our visits to Peppercorn Child Care Centre! Thanks for having us ! 🥰

The Ear Bus visited Peppercorn!

Last week we had the awesome team from the Hear our Heart Ear Bus Project at our centre. These guys do an amazing job of visiting us every 3 months to do ear health checks on our children at Peppercorn.

Being a non-profit organisation we held a fundraiser for them.
"Crazy Sock & Hair Day"! Dana and Amy from the bus also got into the spirit with us, coming in their crazy hair and socks also.
The Peppercorn families helped to raise $86.35 for the ear bus.
Thankyou Peppercorn children and families.
