Key Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Yarranlea is an independent primary school welcoming children from Prep to Year 6. Our small-school environment means children are known across the school community, not only within their own classroom.
Our classes bring together children from different year levels, but learning is not restricted by those class groupings. Students regularly work with different teachers and peers according to the learning, project and their individual needs. These groupings are flexible and change over time, allowing children to be supported and challenged where they are ready to learn.
No, and this is an intentional part of our approach. At different times, children may work with another teacher or group, particularly where this allows us to respond more closely to their learning needs. Students remain connected to their home class and teacher while benefiting from the expertise and opportunities available across our small school.
Students experience learning across The Arts, Music, Health and Physical Education, Technologies and Japanese. Japanese is taught from Prep to Year 6, while our Arts program includes Visual Arts, Media Arts, Dance and Drama. All students participate in weekly classroom Music, with instrumental lessons from Years 2–6.
No. Yarranlea is an independent primary school for students from Prep to Year 6. Rather than being operated by the Queensland Government, Yarranlea is governed by its own Board, which provides oversight and sets the school’s strategic direction.
Our independence allows Yarranlea to maintain its distinctive identity and educational approach, including our small-school environment, flexible multi-age learning and strong focus on knowing each child as an individual. We still teach the Australian Curriculum and meet the regulatory requirements that apply to independent schools.
Being small allows relationships to sit at the heart of school life. Children are known by teachers and staff across the school, and there are regular opportunities to learn and connect across age groups. This creates a strong sense of belonging while allowing us to respond thoughtfully to individual children.
Yes. Yarranlea provides Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care, giving children continuity between their school and care environments and families practical options beyond school hours.
Our Vacation Care program is open to children from other schools, giving families beyond Yarranlea the opportunity to enjoy our school holiday program. Before School Care and After School Care are provided for Yarranlea students, while Vacation Care welcomes both Yarranlea children and children from the wider community.
