At Yarra Glen Primary School, we are committed to providing the best educational outcomes for all students, differentiating by focusing on each individual student’s point of need.
Our PERRI values reflect our culture in which Persistence, Encouragement, Resilience, Respect and Inclusiveness form the foundation of who we are. Teamwork, accountability and acceptance combine together with our PERRI Values to provide an engaging and supportive learning experience for all students.
Yarra Glen Primary School embeds and teaches the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework to develop positive, safe, supportive learning cultures. SWPBS assists schools to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for children and young people.
Our School Council comprises caring, supportive and dedicated parents, committed to the successful running of the school – for now and into the future. We have sub-committees comprising staff and parents who are actively involved in various facets of the school, such as wellbeing, policy, fundraising and grounds development.
At the heart of our school lies an environment that supports and enhances learning, with outstanding facilities specifically designed to do just that. From modern, well-equipped classrooms to expansive outdoor play areas, a huge oval, an indoor multi-purpose space and creative arts spaces, our infrastructure is designed with student success in mind.
Our student leadership program, which includes school leaders and house captains, promotes leadership, responsibility, and student voice within the school community. Our SRC – Student Representative Council – allows all students to have a say. Student voice is crucial in the success of our school. We pride ourselves on our students contributing to decision making processes and collectively influencing outcomes by putting forward their views, concerns and ideas, and actively participating in our school, our community and the education system. Student voice allows students to engage, participate, lead and learn.
The school is led by a Leadership Team consisting of the Principal, Assistant Principal, Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader, as well as team leaders and curriculum area leaders. We have a Wellbeing Officer, out of school hours care and breakfast club. Recess clubs and participation in district sporting events ensures there really is something for everyone at Yarra Glen Primary School. Our students perform in biennial school productions and our art show always wows the crowd. These events allow students to experience multiple forms of the arts.
Yarra Glen Primary School offers all students a place to learn, to grow and to be the best they can be. We support our local community, our families and each other. Come along for a school tour to find out how we facilitate our vision; to provide all students an opportunity to reach their full potential, become life-long learners and valuable members of their community.
