As a way of promoting Deaf culture and Deaf language, Auslan is offered as a LOTE (Languages Other Than English) choice.

We have a team of professionals that cater specifically for the Deaf and HoH students. These include Teachers of the Deaf (ToD), Educational Interpreters (EIs) and Auslan Language Models (ALMs). We also work with external organisations when required such as Australian Hearing. Our team also provide captioning services, speech to text and note-takers to ensure that the Deaf and HoH students have full access to both Unit and Mainstream subjects.
