Aurora School is a Department of Education School which specialises in Early Intervention and Early Education programs for Deaf children and Deafblind children.

Aurora School provides three specialty programs:
Early Intervention, Early Education and Deafblind Education.

The Early Intervention Program aims to provide parents with the support, knowledge and skills they need to promote their children's development, especially their communication and language development, during the early years.

The Early Education Program specialises in education programs for young deaf children from three years of age. There is a strong emphasis on the development of communication skills (listening, speaking, signing, reading and writing) and effective use of both expressive and receptive language.

The Deafblind Education Program offers specialised education for students aged three to eighteen years, who have visual and hearing impairments and communication difficulties.

Scarecrows

This term we welcomed Billy, George, Fluoro, Jack, Harry, Emeralda and Brian to Aurora.

Who are they?

They are our scarecrows that were made in the Art Program.  The children plastic bags with scrunched newspapers, sorted through the bin of clothes to decide what outfit they could use to dress their new scarecrow friend.  They helped hammer the wood to support their scarecrow.

The scarecrows are enjoying life in different parts of the playground at Aurora.
