Students with a hearing impairment enrolled at San Clemente are supported by a specialist teacher or teacher’s assistant from St. Dominic's Centre for Hearing Impaired Children, to enable them to access the curriculum to the best of their ability. While each student attends mainstream classes they each have a timetable which caters to their individual needs, including tutorial time either in small groups or individual, note taker, and/or oral/sign interpreter in the mainstream classroom, paraphrasing of novels and any new language learnt in the classroom and subtitled videos where available. St Dominic’s is a non-denominational school for students with impaired hearing and/or a disorder with their communication skills that exists within the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese and is situated on the same grounds as San Clemente and St. Columban’s Primary School.
