About Yarra Primary School

Yarra Primary School (YPS) is a co-educational State Primary School proud to be recognised as an integral part of a continually changing community. We are dedicated to the education and care of our students so that each grows to become:

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program

Since its inception at Yarra Primary in 2007, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program has become a feature of the school – with a focus on eco-sustainability – creating social, physical, moral and intellectual development. The engaging curriculum has the children actively growing organic food that is then harvested, cooked in our kitchens, and enjoyed by the children.
