Every student follows an Individual Learning Program (ILP) which is negotiated with the parents at the beginning of the school year. It includes the four curriculum domains and reflects the particular needs of the child.
The school curriculum is currently under review. This year the two special primary schools in the ACT (Cranleigh and Malkara) have decided to write a common curriculum which addresses the needs of our students.
The curriculum is organised in four domains
Communication, independence skills and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are taught across all the domain areas. Learning through play is a focus in Early Childhood classes.
The four domains include the Essential Learning Achievements (ELAs) identified in the ACT Curriculum Framework Every Chance to Learn. The Cranleigh curriculum incorporates seven of the eight Key Learning Areas (excludes Languages Other Than English). The P-scales (adapted from the UK curriculum) also inform the curriculum.
