Auslan (Australian Sign Language) was introduced as a LOTE (Language Other Than English) specialist subject at Devon Meadows Primary School in 2022. The program aims to immerse students in the language and culture of the Deaf community, fostering inclusivity, communication skills, and cultural awareness.

Each week, students participate in engaging one-hour classroom lessons that use a multimedia approach to support learning. Through role-play, interactive activities, one-on-one interactions, and games, students actively develop their Auslan vocabulary, comprehension, and signing skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.
