Claremont College

Claremont College is a secondary college providing education for students in years 11 and 12. There are approximately 800 students at Claremont College.

Deaf students choose subjects in the same way as hearing students, but also have the option of choosing Deaf Centre as another subject which is counted towards their required contact hours. Students can also be supported in class by a teacher of the deaf.

Students are provided with interpreting as needed and occasionally student notetaking is required. Interpreting is also provided for work placements or extra curricular activities eg. SRC (Student Representative Council). Communication with the Deaf has been offered as a 50 hour TCE course.

In 1999, there is only one Deaf student attending the college. She is enrolled in English 12C, Accounting and the Tourism VET (Vocational Education Training) course. She is a member of the SRC and the Red Cross group. She is supported on a part time basis this year by Susie Armillei (teacher of the deaf).
