Robyn Pettigrew

LSLS Certified Teacher of the Deaf

Hi, I’m Robyn. 

I originally trained as a classical ballet dancer and educator, establishing Robyn Pettigrew Dance School. I later retrained as a Teacher of the Deaf.

Over the past two decades, I have worked with children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing at the Cora Barclay Centre, Hillcrest Primary School Oral/Aural Unit and Can:Do 4Kids. I have been with Can:Do since 2019 as a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist. 

I am particularly interested in working with children in the early and middle primary years, where my teaching is informed by a sense of play and inquiry.

Outside of Can:Do, I continue to teach adult classical ballet, and enjoy travel, 

, gardening, reading, knitting and walks with my dog Skedaddle.
