On 24th September 1888 a wooden state school opened on land purchased on the north west corner of Whitehorse and Mitcham Roads. In 1890 a contract was let for the construction of a one-room brick school house on that site. By 1907 student numbers had risen to 120 so the Church of Christ Hall was leased for 10/- a week. By 1922 cracks had appeared, plaster had fallen in the school and both the Brittania Street Scout Hall and the Methodist Church has been leased for classrooms. On 10/4/1930, a new school, to be occupied by the upper grades was opened in its present location.Coloured picture of Mitcham Primary School No 2904 The traffic lights are at the intersection of Mitcham and Doncaster East Roads - 2012mitcham primary school no. 2904, schools
