Aurora School

Aurora School is a Department of Education School which provides optimal learning environments for young Deaf and Deafblind children and their families across the State of Victoria.
Communication, Language and Literacy form the foundation of our bilingual (English and Auslan) programs that support each child’s whole development.

Early Intervention programs are available to families of children, living throughout Victoria, aged from birth until school entry who have a confirmed bilateral hearing loss. The staff
work in partnership with families providing regular home based and group sessions.

Early Education programs are available for children from three years of age who have a confirmed moderate to profound bilateral hearing loss. Early Education focuses on a play
based, developmental pathway with particular emphasis on the effective use of speech, language and communication. We provide a warm and encouraging environment that fosters the development of all students according to individual needs and abilities.

Aurora School has an inclusive 3 and 4 year old Community Kindergarten which offers a rich positive environment for children enrolled in the Aurora School Early Education program and for local community children. Programs offer English and Auslan, and are based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.
