A Place to Belong
Small school. Multi-age learning. Real belonging.
Welcome to Yarranlea, a small, independent primary school in Toohey Forest. Here, strong relationships and multi-age learning create a place where children are known as individuals. Our staff work with students and families to support each child’s social and educational growth, while our natural setting encourages curiosity, creativity and connection.
We are intentionally small, with a strong sense of belonging.

What families say about us
A testimonial from one of our families.
Yarranlea provides a welcoming and inclusive environment that is safe and tailored to the interests of children. The activities are fun and engaging.
My child particular enjoys the relaxing vibe of the place which allows the kids to explore, play and grow at the child's own pace. We appreciate the efforts of the educators in providing such a unique and wonderful little hub for our child to return each holiday
