Specialist Programmes

Specialist programmes are arranged each year according to the School Programme priorities and the availability of staff. These programmes support the eight curriculum areas defined by the Victorian Board of Studies. Currently we have specialist teachers in the following areas: Physical Education, Visual Arts, Music, LOTE, Literacy Support, Student Welfare and Instrumental Music. The specialist teachers work with all classes.

Parkmore also has access to a range of support service personnel, including educational psychologists, speech pathologists and social workers to support the needs of individual children.

The school implements programmes such as Swimming in Years Prep-4, Inter-School Sport, Library and a buddy system between Year 6 and Preparatory children. The assistance of parents with these programmes increases their success and we welcome you to assist us where you can.

Please note the day your child has specialist programmes and ensure that they have appropriate equipment, eg. library books and bag on library day.

Religious Education is carried out by tutors who hold current Board of Christian Education accreditation. Parents are asked on enrolment to indicate whether their children are to be involved in Religious Education or not.
