About Yarra Glen Primary School

At Yarra Glen Primary School, we are committed to providing the best educational outcomes for all students, differentiating by focusing on each individual student’s ‘point of need’.

Our PERRI values reflect our culture in which Persistence, Encouragement, Resilience, Respect and Inclusiveness form the foundation of who we are. Teamwork, accountability and acceptance combine to together with our PERRI Values to provide an engaging and supportive learning experience for all students.

Our School Council is comprised of caring, supportive and dedicated parents, committed to the successful running of the school – for now and into the future. We have many sub-committees that are actively involved in various facets of the school, such as wellbeing, policy and grounds development.

Our student leadership program, which includes School and Vice Captains, Sports Captains and Vice Captains, Art leaders, sustainability leaders and library leaders, gives students that sense of accountability, responsibility and prepares them for higher learning.

Our SRC – Student Representative Council – allows all students to have a say. Student voice is crucial in the success of our school. We pride ourselves on our students contributing to decision making processes and collectively influencing outcomes by putting forward their views, concerns and ideas, and actively participating in our school, our community and the education system. Student voice allows students to engage, participate, lead and learn.
