In South of France, in Toulouse, deaf pupils go to an hearing school. This is a small school with four hundred hearing pupils.

There are a computer room, the library, and a cafeteria to have lunch. Lessons begin at 8.15 am until at 12.15am. when the pupils have lunch. Then lessons begin at 1.30pm or 2.00 pm, and lessons finish at 4.00pm or 5.00 pm. After lunch, there are activities like theatre, football, table tennis, athletics... Some hearing pupils came in our English lessons to attend them. So, they know how we learn and communicate.
We are nine pupils in the hearing school called «College Jean Moulin» In the 5th form there are two pupils, in the 4th form there are three pupils, in the 3rd form there are four pupils.


Deaf pupils sleep in the deaf boarding school and every morning they go to the hearing school by bus and go back in the evening. At the end of the 3rd form, pupils sit an exam with French, Maths, History and Geography.
Hearing pupils and deaf pupils are often separated, because we practise sign language and they don't know it. The deaf pupils are integrated in an hearing school .
In this school, there are specialized teachers who teach lessons : Mathematics , Geography, History, Speech education, French, English, Biology, Physics and chemistry.
We also attend lessons with hearing teachers and their pupils : Gym, Art, Technology, there is an interpreter in sign language to help us to understand.
The integration of the 4th group is very nice.
When we meet together, we say « Hello ».



It's a Technology lesson, an hearing teacher explains us what to do, an interpreter in sign language helps us to understand.
