AUSLAN/EAL
Auslan
Auslan is the accepted sign language of the Australian Deaf Community. Auslan is the Language Other Than English (LOTE) program that The Lakes South Morang College implements as part of its curriculum.
On the Early Years Campus the Auslan program is immersive and structured so that signing can take place across all curriculum areas and in any way appropriate throughout the school day.
Teachers plan for the signs they would like to incorporate into their programs, allowing students to develop a culture of authentic communication with both verbal and signed speech.
Students enjoy signing our Australian national anthem at our weekly school assemblies. A voluntary Auslan lunch time club is also offered to students who would like to further their knowledge and skills of Auslan.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Students who are learning English as a language in addition to their home language follow an individual pathway of development in learning English.
Programs are delivered in class with a strong oral and visual focus to support EAL learners.
The VCAA EAL curriculum is used by teachers to assess EAL students and enhance their learning of English through targeted teaching to support individual student’s needs.
