The Grovedale Deaf Education Centre is based at the following two schools and supports deaf and hard of hearing students from across Geelong.
Specialist deaf educators and support staff are available in both co-educational school settings enabling deaf and hard of hearing students to engage in an inclusive mainstream educational environment.
The students are provided with support from Teachers of the Deaf, Communication Assistants and Auslan language teachers in addition to the regular classroom teacher. They learn together with their peers in the regular classrooms, supported with additional inclusion support.
Auslan is taught and the students also enjoy using Auslan within their musical performances.
