We are delighted to share that Yarra will welcome Dr Amy Van Arkkels as our new Principal in July. Dr Van Arkkels joins us from Newington College, Sydney where she is currently the Deputy Principal, Academic (K-12).  She brings deep expertise in teaching and learning, a strong commitment to community, and a genuine passion for supporting students and staff to thrive. 

The Foundation looks forward to supporting her leadership as we continue to strengthen opportunities for our Yarra community.

WHY I GIVE

"Our family joined Yarra in 2021 when our eldest son entered the ELC. Over the last 5 years we have developed a strong sense of connection and belonging within the Yarra community, and we have witnessed the tremendous growth in opportunities and experiences Yarra offers to students and families. Our donations truly make a difference and ensure Yarra can continue to thrive and grow for many years to come"

Lara, Junior School Parent and Yarra Foundation Director
