Welcome from the Principal

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and I am pleased that you have taken the time to learn more about our community.

Yarranlea is a small, independent school nestled within the Toohey Forest precinct. While our size may be one of the first things families notice, it is the relationships, sense of belonging and multi-age learning experience that truly define who we are.

At Yarranlea, every child is known. We take the time to understand each student's strengths, interests and aspirations so that learning can be meaningful, engaging and responsive to their individual needs. We believe children thrive when they feel connected, supported and valued as members of a community.

Our multi-age approach to learning reflects our belief that education is about more than progressing through year levels. It is about developing confident, capable young people who can collaborate with others, embrace challenges and contribute positively to the world around them. Through strong relationships, personalised learning and opportunities for leadership, students learn with and from one another in a supportive environment that celebrates growth and individuality.

Toohey Forest is also an important part of the Yarranlea experience. More than a backdrop to school life, it helps shape the character of our community and provides a setting where children can connect, explore and grow.

Whether you are exploring schooling options for the first time, considering a change for your child, or simply seeking to learn more about our community, I warmly invite you to connect with us. We would be pleased to share more about life at Yarranlea and help you determine whether our school may be the right fit for your family.
We look forward to welcoming you.
