We are a bilingual setting that uses both Auslan, the language of the Deaf community, and English. We value both Auslan and English equally. We also acknowledge and value the language that each child uses at home with their family.
We work in partnership with families, building on their child’s individual needs, strengths, and competencies to support them to reach their full potential. We offer Early Intervention, Early Education and an inclusive 3 – 4 year old Community Kindergarten.
Our highly trained team of professionals includes Teachers of the Deaf, Deaf Educators, Teacher Assistants, Speech Pathologists, Social Workers, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Audiologists Physiotherapists, and Interpreters.
EARLY INTERVENTION
This is available to families of Victorian children from birth to school entry who have a confirmed hearing loss in both ears. We work in partnership with families, providing regular home visits and group sessions.
EARLY EDUCATION
We offer school-based programs to children aged 3 – 6 years old, who have a confirmed moderate to profound bilateral hearing loss, and children who are deafblind.
AURORA SCHOOL COMMUNITY KINDERGARTEN
Our inclusive bilingual 3 and 4 year old Community Kindergarten offers a positive environment for hearing children from the local community and children enrolled in the Early Education program.
The Victorian Deaf Education Network offers membership to educational professionals who lead programs that specialise in teaching children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Victoria and pay respect to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples.
