Languages (Auslan)
St James Vermont offers an exciting Language Other Than English (LOTE) program, with all students in Prep to Year 6 engaged in weekly Auslan (Australian Sign Language) classes. Auslan is a rich non-verbal language and is the official language of the Australian Deaf Community.
Our Auslan classes promote communication and foster inclusion through a range of different activities and learning opportunities. We provide insight into Deaf culture and assist in bridging the gap between Deaf and hearing communities.
Students learn to communicate without their voices, beginning with iconic signs and fingerspelling. As their signed vocabulary grows and their confidence increases, students progress towards maintaining signed interactions in Auslan.
It’s not the curriculum that we offer that sets us apart...
....it’s the manner in which it’s delivered. Our teachers actively and passionately explore the possibilities of making their teaching practice more innovative, engaging and fun at every turn. This is the single ingredient that drives the most growth in our students.
