Yarranlea Primary School

Yarranlea Primary School is a small, multi-age, independent primary school situated in the bushland setting of Griffith University’s Mount Gravatt campus, on the Southside of Brisbane. 

Our Philosophy

Yarranlea is a small, student-focused school operating in a conventional classroom setting that tailors the Australian National Curriculum to enable personalised learning. Our teachers facilitate excellent social and educational outcomes relative to the unique skills and abilities of each student. Yarranlea is an independent organisation that values a learning partnership between students, their families and teachers, creating a community where we constructively work with each other to enable our students to believe in themselves and to achieve their potential.

Why SMILE?

Our vision for our school is defined by a SMILE and we believe that when a community smiles together then it is aligned to a common value system and able to achieve its goals. We believe that our school must remain small so that every student builds strong relationships with their peers and teachers. We also believe that a multi-age school does not define a child’s performance by chronology, but by their specific learning needs. This embodies a personalised learning experience. We must also strive to inspire our children to reach beyond their own expectations of themselves and to achieve their goals we must provide them with an inspirational learning environment that empowers them to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
