Location ProfileOriginally known as Richmond North Primary School, our school is in the inner city and serves a changing and diverse community. The original 1888 building had an addition in 1975 and a Building the Education Revolution (BER) project has added contemporary flexible learning spaces to the original buildings. In 2024 the school will begin capital works and improvements to the building and landscaping, with a priority on preserving the existing natural environment. We have been involved in high quality educational provision to the students of Richmond for over 130 years.
Yarra Primary School currently has 250 students. There is an Out of School Hours Care Program and a Holiday Care Program, and the school enjoys a strong collaborative relationship with the Yarra City Council and the Finbar Community House.
At Yarra Primary School we collaborate to sustain a positive learning experience for all children within a safe and healthy school environment. We provide a vibrant and purposeful curriculum and foster an engaged and supportive community. Our school aspires to 'live' our values: Respect, Caring and Commitment. Our children thrive with excellent staff, supportive parents and friends who combine to celebrate and acknowledge their achievements both in and out of school.
School learning priorities focus on strengthening academic and social and emotional learning through student voice and agency and experiential learning within the community. We have set high expectations in the learning of Literacy and Numeracy skills. Our Specialist programs (Music, Physical Education and Sport, Language and Arts) provide experiential learning opportunities to express and develop skills in the areas of:
problem-solving; creativity; and teamwork.
We are passionate about sustainability and value our integrated environmental program where we recycle, save water, grow, harvest and eat our own garden produce. Learning is active and fun.
