Our Team

Our Teachers of the Deaf team are a highly skilled team of teaching practitioners with a passion for education. All of our teachers of the deaf are qualified teachers, many of whom hold a Master of Learning Intervention or other Master of Special Education.

At Rosanna Golf Links, we have a collaborative approach to planning and our teachers of the deaf and classroom teachers work together to adapt and teach the curriculum to suit the needs of individual students.
