At Mitcham Primary School, we are proud to offer a diverse range of specialist subjects that enrich our students’ education and allow them to explore their interests and talents. Our dedicated Specialist Teachers provide expert instruction in French, Physical Education (PE), Performing Arts, and Science, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive across a range of disciplines.
French
Learning a second language opens up a world of opportunities. In our French classes, students dive into the language and culture through engaging activities that promote speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. From beginners to more advanced learners, our program aims to develop confidence in communication and a deep appreciation of French culture.
Physical Education (PE)
Our PE program focuses on developing physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Students engage in a wide variety of sports and physical activities that cater to all ability levels, encouraging a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. We aim to build resilience, leadership, and a positive mindset through active participation in our PE lessons.
Performing Arts
Through Performing Arts, students explore their creativity and self-expression. Our classes cover music, drama, and dance, allowing students to develop performance skills and confidence on stage. They learn to work collaboratively, think creatively, and express themselves artistically—skills that resonate in all aspects of life.
Science
Our Science program encourages students to inquire, investigate, and understand the world around them. Through hands-on experiments and projects, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. From biology to physics, our Science lessons ignite curiosity and foster a love for discovery and innovation.
Each of our specialist subjects supports the holistic growth of our students, promoting both academic achievement and personal development. We’re committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to embrace a dynamic future with enthusiasm and confidence.
Each curriculum area is taught by a Specialist Teacher with many years of experience in their chosen field. Our specialist teachers collaborate closely with classroom teachers to ensure a seamless approach to student wellbeing and classroom management.
