June 2026 Edition

The Yarra Foundation’s installation of lighting at the C.R. Lawson (Blue) Courts is transforming a central Junior School space, extending its use for physical education, sport and play throughout the year, particularly during winter. This upgrade enhances safety, accessibility and scheduling flexibility, supporting before and after school as well as twilight activities for students and staff.  

It is a clear example of how targeted giving delivers immediate impact, strengthening participation, wellbeing and connection across the School community.

The Yarra Foundation’s annual Yarra Giving campaign will move to later in the year as we work to more closely align our efforts with key priorities across the School, as reflected in recent initiatives in the Junior School. 

In the meantime, those wishing to make a tax-deductible contribution before 30 June are warmly invited to donate via the link here.

The Yarra Foundation is entering an exciting new chapter, with a refined strategic focus on impact, engagement and alignment with School priorities. 

Following 13 years of dedicated leadership, Gary Pratt (past parent) has stepped down as President, with Rob Drew (YOG 2000 and current parent) taking on the role. 

Building on a strong legacy, this next phase will continue to enhance the Yarra Spirit and bring the future to today.
