We are currently able to accommodate external therapists (such as Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists) to visit on site once the appropriate paperwork has been completed by the individual providers. This is something that is arranged once your child has started attending our school.

Definitely! In fact, we encourage it.

You are more than welcome to join one of our school’s Prep Parent Tours, which can be booked here.

We would also welcome you to get in touch and make a time to tour with one of our Deaf Education Hub Leaders. You can get in touch by using our Contact Us form or by calling / emailing us directly.

Yes! Our school’s LOTE is Auslan and students attend one Auslan lesson each week.

We utilise a two teacher model to support all of the deaf and hard of hearing students enrolled in our school. This two teacher model allows for a mixture of in classroom and withdrawal support depending on individual student needs.

Students may be withdrawn for intervention support, or supported in the classroom where they can work with peers to further their learning.

We currently have 25 students enrolled in the Deaf Education Hub at our school.

Each year, we aim to have one classroom in each year level with our two teacher model. Our deaf and hard of hearing students are grouped together in this classroom.

Many of our teachers of the deaf have completed a master of special education or learning intervention. Through the Student Support Group (SSG) and Individual Education Plan process, we ensure reasonable adjustments are made for each student at their point of need.

We welcome any therapists involved in your care team to attend these SSG meetings and provide further suggestions for classroom support.

Our school also has an assistant principal dedicated to Disability Inclusion.

We welcome you to get in touch if you have any specific questions about how we can accommodate your child.
