Kalinda is a learning community of students, teachers and parents founded upon quality relationships characterised by our values. At Kalinda we are committed to fostering a "lifelong love of learning". We actively engage students in a range of meaningful learning experiences. Through these experiences our children will construct those understandings and acquire the competencies needed for further education, the workplace and the achievement of a quality lifestyle in a constantly changing society.
Our learning centres on three global focuses:
- Learning about ourselves
- Learning about and living with others
- Learning about and living with the environment
We intend that children leave Kalinda with an abundance of life skills.
These skills include children being able to:
- Inquire, investigate, initiate, create and solve
- To communicate in multiple forms
- Work independently and interdependently
- Socially interact
- Appreciate the arts
- Understand local and global perspectives
- Use new technologies for information and communication
- Know how to learn
- Value others and accept responsibility
