Kalamunda Primary School has always had a focus on music and visual arts. With the appointment of Mrs Emma Dawson to the Arts specialist role we will be building a FULL Arts program including music, visual arts, drama, dance and media arts over the next couple of years. Very exciting!

Kalamunda Primary School's motto is 'Strive to Excel'. Mr Gareth Williams uses performance and report data to target and invite those students that would benefit from academic extension into short courses that run each term. Each course is tailor made, based on PEAC best practice and has specific foci designed to engage and excite the students involved.

Kalamunda Primary School's Languages Teacher facilitates an Indonesian language and culture program across the school. The program focuses on cultural understanding as well as basic language skills. This provides an excellent grounding for continuation of Indonesian right through to year twelve at Kalamunda SHS.

Kalamunda Primary School is a participating school in the Kalamunda SHS Academic Excellence Scholarship Program. Each year KSHS request information on the highest achieving students in year four. A combination of NAPLAN data and semester one year four report data are used to provide this information. Students offered a place by KSHS are invited to attend KSHS for a number of sessions each term in years five and six to extend their learning and provide an overlap with the Academic Extension program at KSHS. Further information can be obtained from Kalamunda Senior High School.

Kalamunda Primary School's Physical Education Specialist facilitates a Physical Education program across the school. The program focuses on skill acquisition and fitness at developmental level. Many team sports are taught throughout the year along with individual skill sets for track and field. Participation and self-improvement are considered the cornerstones of this program.

Kalamunda Primary School facilitates a program for parents of children who are too young to enrol in Kindergarten. The program does not enrol three year olds but rather works hand in hand with parents and carers to build preparedness for entry into Kindergarten in the near future. The program is structured as a guided morning session once a week mirroring a Kindergarten session but with full parent/carer involvement. Entry to this program is through expression of interest and is subject to places being available.
