Auslan St Peter’s Primary school community is one that celebrates diversity and multiculturalism. Auslan fosters a more inclusive school environment where every voice—spoken or signed—is valued. It adds a meaningful dimension to community gatherings, including welcomes and prayers, where appropriate. Auslan encourages empathy, patience and active listening. Students learn to communicate in new ways, deepening their emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Teaching students Auslan from a young age offers a wide range of benefits, not only for Deaf and hard-of-hearing children, but also for hearing students. Importantly, research and practice show that early exposure to Auslan can enhance English reading and writing skills, among other developmental gains. Visual Arts Participating in our Visual Arts Program allows students at St Peter's the opportunity to experience and explore the concepts of artists, artwork, and audience. Students experiment with ways of expressing ideas and communicating using a range of media. Two- and three-dimensional media and techniques such as drawing, painting, printing, pottery, printing, and collage are developed in weekly sessions. Connections are made to local, national, and international artists as students discover the importance of art in the world around us. They are encouraged to draw on what they know and to develop and practice their skills in a safe space where individuality and creativity are celebrated.
