Bundaberg Special School introduced Auslan in 2020 as our Languages program. Auslan is the visual language of the Australian Deaf Community.
All students in the Primary and Secondary sectors engage in Auslan lessons once per fortnight as a component of their Specialist Program. Delivered by a qualified Teacher of Deaf, students learn about deaf culture and basic sign language covering topics such as;
- Family – names of people, activities
- Storytelling – repetitive phrases and rhymes
- Games – following instructions, counting, mascots, sports
- Food – preferences, cooking
