The event title, Cottage to Castle takes inspiration from the cottage in Prahran, Victoria, where F.J Rose opened the first school in Victoria for Deaf children in 1860, through to the bluestone, the castle which opened in October 1866.
This iconic building stands today and is embedded in Deaf history and that of the state of Victoria.
