THE Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children helped their students recognise Anzac Day with sensory cues.
The ceremony was held at the institute's Alice Betteridge School at North Rocks on April 7.
The day was designed to awaken all senses with rosemary for touch and smell, a slide show of war images for a visual connection and a short film playing the national anthem in both the Auslan sign language and captions.
The day was organised by curriculum co-ordinator Jessteene Clifford and senior teacher Celia Vild.
Eight cadets from James Ruse High School also attended the ceremony.
The institute supports more than 970 children and their families across Australia, and provides assessments for over 2000 other children each year.
Ms Clifford said Anzac Day is a day when we revere the qualities of endurance and fortitude.
"[The students] have lots of challenges in their lives to overcome and we wanted to bring them the positive sentiment that Anzac Day remembers," Ms Clifford said.
