Multiage Learning in Action
​Our classes bring together children from different year levels, with learning opportunities often extending across Prep to Year 6. Groupings are flexible and change according to the learning, the project and each child’s needs, creating opportunities to learn with and from others while building collaboration, leadership and independence
Curriculum
Yarranlea tailors the Australian National Curriculum to a multiage ethos.
​
Specialist opportunities compliment classroom learning and provide further ways for students to explore interests, develop skills and participate in a broad educational experience.
English at Yarranlea is about finding your voice and discovering the power of language. Our multiage approach means literacy learning is shaped around what each child knows, what they are ready to learn next and where they will be best supported to grow. At different times, students may learn with different teachers and groups across our classrooms, allowing teaching to respond thoughtfully to their individual strengths and next steps. Through rich texts, purposeful writing, discussion and storytelling, children build confidence as readers, writers, thinkers and communicators.
Mathematics at Yarranlea is active, purposeful and grounded in making sense of the world. Through problem-solving and hands-on investigations, children explore mathematical ideas, test their thinking and develop strong conceptual understanding. From Years 1–6, students also build a repertoire of mental maths strategies, strengthening number knowledge, fluency and flexibility alongside their broader mathematical learning.
Science at Yarranlea begins with curiosity about the world around us. Through investigation, observation and hands-on discovery, children ask questions, test ideas and develop their understanding of the natural and physical world. Our students regularly explore nearby Toohey Forest as part of their learning, connecting scientific ideas with the living environment on our doorstep.
Humanities and Social Sciences helps children understand people, places, communities and the world they share. Through inquiry and authentic connections, students explore the past and present, consider different perspectives and develop an understanding of their place in the world and how they can contribute to their community and beyond.
The Arts gives every child opportunities to imagine, create, perform and express themselves. Across their Prep–6 journey, students experience Visual Arts, Media Arts, Dance and Drama through weekly Arts lessons, alongside weekly classroom Music for all students. From Years 2–6, students also participate in instrumental music lessons, building creativity, confidence and new ways to communicate and connect.
Health and Physical Education supports children to lead healthy, active and connected lives. Through movement, play, teamwork and learning about wellbeing, students build confidence, resilience and positive relationships. We also make the most of the high-quality sporting facilities at our local site, providing opportunities for swimming, basketball and tennis.
Technologies empowers children to become thoughtful creators, problem-solvers and designers. Through hands-on learning, students explore digital and designed solutions, investigate ideas and make purposeful choices. They develop the knowledge and skills to use technology creatively, responsibly and confidently while designing solutions for real-world needs.
Learning Japanese from Prep to Year 6 opens a window to another language, culture and way of seeing the world. Through engaging and interactive experiences, students progressively build their communication skills, cultural understanding and confidence, while developing curiosity about Japan and their place in a connected world.
At Yarranlea, learning is designed to make connections. Many curriculum areas come together through integrated project blocks, rather than always being taught as separate subjects or topics. This gives children time to explore big ideas from different perspectives, make meaningful connections across their learning and investigate questions in greater depth. Through these experiences, students develop curiosity, creativity and the confidence to apply their knowledge in purposeful ways.
