Welcome

Shenton College Deaf Education Centre aims to provide excellence in education for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students communicating through signed and/or spoken language.

The learning environment is designed to be supportive, stimulating and to foster independence. Through the provision of individual programs and appropriate inclusion, students will be encouraged to achieve their full potential.
