Welcome to Malkara School

Malkara is a well established school that has provided 40 years of quality education for students with an intellectual disability.

Our wonderful and dedicated community of staff, parents, carers together with the wider Canberra community work together to ensure that all Malkara students have a positive, student centred environment and educational programs that ensure maximum student growth and development.

Our grassy playgrounds with well established trees are just one stand out feature of our unique environment. Please explore our informative, extensive website for further information about Malkara School.

Empowering ACT Schools

Malkara is the first ACT specialist school to pilot school autonomy, now referred to as Empowering ACT Schools or eACT.  All ACT schools will move to this model in 2013.  Empowering ACT Schools is the result of the Government's decision to increase school-based decision making in relation to staffing and finances thereby giving schools increased flexibility and autonomy.

The School board have the opportunity for greater involvement and input into school finances when we are fully operational in a 'dollar environment'.  We look forward to working closely with them on this pilot during 2012.
