We:

- tell children what we are going to do before we do it
- promote independence by letting each student 'have a go' first before offering assistance

- respond to each response, whether intentional or not.
'Development, achievement and contribution in all areas of life.'
All children have the right to an appropriate, challenging education which opens up individual potential for growth and development. Towards this end, learning programs at Malkara focus on curriculum content as well as developing each student's potential for independence and self-determination and maximising their capacity to communicate and be understood.
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 be valued and contributing members of society.
