Languages

Northfield Primary School has started to teach Auslan to our early year students. Three staff members are in the process of completing a Certificate 3 in Auslan and have built a strong connection with one of our local high schools who also teach Auslan as part of their language program.

Auslan is the sign language of the Australian Deaf community and has a strong connection with Australian Deaf culture. Students use song, greetings and alphabet knowledge when learning Auslan.
