Yanderra Public School

Yanderra Public school is a small, family orientated school situated approximately 6km from Bargo. The school has a teaching principal and a small team of dedicated staff. The local environment is semi-rural offering a quiet lifestyle for its residents. The school plays an important role in the community providing a site for local council programs and a meeting place for local residents. We encourage our school community to be part of our learning and value open and effective communication as a key focus of a successful school. A small community park is located next to the school which provides a meeting point for parents and students after school. An active Parents and Citizens Association meets each month to discuss and support school initiatives and ensure that student learning is the focus of the schools core business. The school achieves its mission of providing a predictable and orderly learning environment teaching all aspects of the school curriculum. As a result students develop the skills, values, knowledge and understanding to become lifelong learners and cope effectively with change. The core values of the school are respect and valuing the opinions and ideas of all. The learning platform is creative and interesting promoting excellence and the needs of others. The learning environment promotes risk taking that promotes student responsibility to learn and achieve their best. Staff provide equity for all students and implement teaching strategies that promote quality teaching. Classrooms are supported through the use of technology and lessons are designed to use all senses with time to learn, to practice, to consolidate through stimulating, challenging programs, evaluation and reflection.
