Mission Statement

The Malkara School community works together to provide a positive student-centred learning environment that enables students to develop towards their full potential and to be valued,  contributing members of society.

Vision Statement

All children have the right to an appropriate, challenging education which opens up their individual potential for growth and development. Towards this end, learning programs at Malkara School focus on curriculum content as well as developing each student's potential for independence and self-determination. There is an integral emphasis on maximising the capacity of every individual to communicate and be understood.

Malkara is a preschool and primary school for students who have moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. A number of students also have varying degrees of physical and emotional disabilities. The students range in age from 3 to 12 years. Students are grouped into four areas in the school, early childhood, junior primary, middle primary and senior primary.

The school enrols students who are ACT residents who live south of Lake Burley Griffin. Students are referred by teachers and counsellors and recommendations for placement are made by the ACT Department of Education and Training.
