LANGUAGES (AUSLAN)
Learning Languages enables all students to communicate proficiently in a language other than English by providing students with essential communication skills in that language, an intercultural capability, and an understanding of the role of language and culture in human communication. Learning AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) develops neural pathways and cognitive processes unique to using a visual language. AUSLAN is taught through games, music, movement, role play, use of puppets, art and digital media for all students in Pre Primary to Year 6 at Ashburton Drive Primary School, and is reported under the “Communicating and Understanding” strands.
