AUSLAN
At Lockwood Primary, we are proud to teach AUSLAN, launched as part of our commitment
to delivering a meaningful and inclusive Languages curriculum. AUSLAN (Australian Sign
Language) is a visual language used by members of the Australian Deaf community and
offers all students a unique opportunity to expand their communication skills and cultural
understanding.

Each week, our teacher Kylie Trimble provides a 30-minute lesson focusing on key AUSLAN
topics and themes across the school. These sessions provide a consistent and engaging
learning experience for all students and staff.

This program not only meets the Languages requirement for Victorian schools, but also
reflects our commitment to inclusion, equity, and visual literacy development. We are excited
to see our school community learn and grow together through this innovative and accessible
initiative.
