As Yarra Valley Grammar is located on a magnificent 29-hectare site, Junior School students are able to enjoy all the benefits of a separate primary environment, yet at the same time, they are able to access the outstanding facilities and opportunities offered as part of a ‘whole-school approach'.

In Junior School, a strong focus on establishing key literacy and numeracy skills is complemented by a varied specialist program that includes Art, Library, LOTE, Music and Physical Education.

Small class sizes in Junior School ensure students receive the care and attention they need to achieve their full potential. There is also an emphasis on emotional wellbeing and the development of valuable social skills.

Our Junior School staff are professional, highly qualified and dedicated. We have a good balance of male and female teachers, so students experience role models of both genders.

Junior School years are exciting, rewarding, interesting and stimulating. Together with parents, we take pride in the learning and developmental successes our students experience during these years, as we help them to establish a life-long love of learning.

Deputy Principal – Head of Junior School
