Language other than English
Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is taught to students from Foundation to year 6, for 1 hour per week. Our school is located just 5 minutes from Furlong Park School for Deaf Children, so we are proud to deliver a program which promotes respect and inclusivity within our community.
The program is facilitated through videos provided by Auslan Education Services, filmed by deaf and hard of hearing people. The videos provide the explicit teaching and our dedicated Auslan teacher then supports students to practise and review their learning through fun, interactive activities.


Each weekly lesson aims to build on student’s prior learning, progressively developing students’ ability to give and receive information through signing, over their 7 years of learning.
We also aim to offer students authentic situations in which to practise their learning, for example by signing the Australian National Anthem at the conclusion of fortnightly assemblies.
