Mitcham Primary School 20a Hillview Road, Kingswood, South Australia 5062

Welcome to Mitcham Primary School, a renowned establishment located at 20a Hillview Road, Kingswood, Australia. As a primary school, we take pride in providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can thrive academically and emotionally.

At Mitcham Primary School, we strongly believe that student wellbeing is essential for academic success. Our core values of respect, resilience, and responsibility are integrated into every aspect of school life. We strive to create a caring community that fosters the growth and development of each individual student.

Our educational priorities place a strong emphasis on Literacy, Numeracy, and STEM engagement. Our dedicated teachers are committed to delivering high-quality learning experiences that deeply engage students while challenging them intellectually. We celebrate the diversity of our school community through a wide range of programs, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to actively and positively engage with the world around them.

Literacy is a key focus at Mitcham Primary School. We believe that students become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to interpret and use language effectively for learning, communication, and active participation in society.

In mathematics, our aim is to provide all students with high-quality teaching that promotes rich mathematical knowledge and understanding, a positive mindset, and the ability to apply mathematical skills in their daily lives.

Over the past few years, we have fostered a culture of problem-solving and innovation, particularly in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our students are highly engaged as they develop their skills in these areas and explore real-world applications.

We would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the retirement of our Assistant Principal, Lexie Anderson, after 22 years of dedicated service to Mitcham Primary School. Lexie has made significant contributions to the education and wellbeing of countless students within our community, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for her commitment and passion.

Recently, our Year 5/6 STEM Extension students showcased their Augmented Reality games at the Cumberland Park Community Centre. These games were designed with the goal of increasing movement for older people from ECH. Augmented Reality involves overlaying computer-generated images onto the real world, and our students demonstrated its potential for various applications, from gaming to assisting individuals with disabilities.

We have also celebrated Book Week with great excitement this year, extending the festivities over a few weeks. Our students had the opportunity to hear from visiting authors and performers, engage in library challenges, and participate in the Great Book Swap.

While our Year 7 students typically conduct school tours for parents, the current COVID-19 pandemic has made it impossible to proceed with in-person tours. However, a group of Year 7 students has taken the initiative to create a virtual tour, allowing us to showcase our school to others. This student-led project utilized design thinking principles to create an engaging and informative video.

At Mitcham Primary School, we are dedicated to meeting the learning, social, and wellbeing needs of all our students. We strive to provide a welcoming and safe educational environment where students, staff, and the community feel valued and supported.

In addition to our comprehensive curriculum, we offer specialist teaching subjects such as French, Physical Education (PE), Performing Arts, and Science, enriching our students' educational experience.
