Show Notes
Mount Rogers Primary School in Canberra is making waves as the only public school in the Australian Capital Territory teaching Australian Sign Language (Auslan) as its main second language. This change, made in 2024, has significantly improved inclusivity for their nine Deaf and hard-of-hearing students, from preschool to year six. Every child now learns Auslan daily, leading to rapid progress and full conversations among students, staff, and parents. Hearing kids are forming stronger bonds with Deaf peers, while Deaf students are gaining pride and achieving in areas like English and math. The programs success highlights the benefits of visual languages and the schools hope for wider adoption to foster stronger inclusion across communities.
