Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1442165

**Location Profile**:
The Shepparton Deaf Facility, based at Guthrie Street Primary School, was established in 1995 to provide support for Deaf and Hearing Impaired children. Each student has an Individual Education Plan developed in consultation with staff and the child¿s family. Within the plan are specific learning goals for all areas of the child¿s development.

The facility teaches through a bilingual approach, developing both English and Auslan communication and valuing both languages. The family¿s communication choice is important and supported through the learning goals. Oral communication is developed through daily audition and speech activities. Regular networking with the Cochlear Implant Clinic and Australian Hearing allows up to date technological support.

Deaf students are integrated into classrooms and Auslan/English interpreters are provided to support communication between all staff and students. Deaf role models are a valued part of our facility. All students and teachers at Guthrie Street Primary School learn Auslan in weekly classroom sessions.

Our facility rooms have noise reduction technology for educational support. In consultation with parents, students are withdrawn into quiet rooms for audition and speech development and to support other Individual Education Plan goals. Students participate in weekly Deaf Studies lessons exploring Australian Deaf history and culture.

Guthrie Street Primary School is a highly regarded school located in a residential area in the south of the city of Shepparton. The school has an enrolment of 470 students. Great emphasis is placed on providing a comprehensive curriculum that extends students to their individual potential, while encouraging, recognising and rewarding their achievement and effort.

Buses service the school and cover various routes. Specific bus transportation is available for the Deaf students and connections are made so that these students can travel extensive distances to attend Guthrie Street PS and the Deaf Facility.

Staff members plan and work together in teams. Specialist classes cover a combination of art, physical education and music. The school focuses on developing students with a positive outlook on life, high self-esteem and a willingness to participate actively. The Emotional Intelligence program of achievement has been introduced to teach strategies that encourage students to be aware of others handle relationships and display self-awareness, control and motivation. The staff are professional and dedicated in their approach to teaching and learning. The school is committed to quality provision in all curriculum areas with additional emphasis placed on:

- The specialised teaching and integration of Auslan
