Curriculum
Different ways to learn the core subjects. Help students think, experiment and learn through creativity and coding. Every child is born full of creativity. Nurturing it is one of the most important things educators do. Creativity makes students better communicators and problem solvers. It prepares them to thrive in today’s world — and to shape tomorrow’s. Mackellar is constantly creating learning to help students do just that. Not only powerful lessons, but also media, inspiration and curriculums to create magical learning experiences and make every moment of screen time worth it.
Ignite the creativity in every student with our BYOiD Program
Digital technologies are dramatically changing how we educate our students. Increased access to electronic devices such as laptop computers or tablets and the explosion of online information enables our students to interact with and create high quality content, resources and tools. The precise application of technology and quality instruction can enhance learning. The increased connectivity between school life, private life and social life coupled with portable devices and high speed broadband open up the possibility for new models of instruction outside of the traditional classroom setting.

Strategic Plan
Child Safe Standards
The Child Safe Standards (the Standards) are compulsory minimum standards for all organisations that provide services to children including Victorian schools. The aim of the Standards is to ensure organisations are well prepared to protect children from abuse and neglect. It is recognised that many schools will have existing policies and procedures that aim to keep children safe.
The Standards provide a framework to identify gaps and improve policy and practices around child safety. On 26 November 2015, the Victorian Parliament passed the Child Wellbeing and Safety Amendment (Child Safe Standards) Bill 2015, which amended the Child Safety and Wellbeing Act 2005 to introduce the Child Safe Standards that would apply to all organisations involved in child related work in Victoria.
The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) as regulator for all Victorian schools has responsibility for ensuring compliance with the Child Safe Standards in schools. The Standards are:
