About Us
Yarraman Oaks Primary School Noble Park
Located in the South-Eastern region of Victoria, Yarraman Oaks Primary School is approximately 35km from Melbourne. We are a small, friendly school community where diversity is embraced, opportunities are explored, and all are welcome and valued.
At Yarraman Oaks Primary School, we have approximately 180 students in our learning community. Our mission is to provide a positive and supportive learning environment where students are connected to their school and engaged and challenged in their learning. Our small school community means that our teachers are able to quickly build strong relationships with each child and develop learning programs that are tailored specifically to their learning needs.
Our Beginnings
Yarraman Oaks Primary School commenced in 2008 when Yarraman Park Primary School and Oakwood Primary School merged. Yarraman Oaks is proud to carry on the history of both of these great schools.

Our vision is for students to become enthusiastic, independent, successful lifelong learners who are respectful and responsible citizens who contribute positively to the community.
Philosophy
At Yarraman Oaks Primary School we strive to build a connected school community, to embrace our diversity and to provide opportunities for all of our students.

Facilities & Grounds

Communication
At Yarraman Oaks Primary School we strive to build strong relationships with our families. We understand the importance of keeping our community up to date with what is happening at school. We recognise that great communication between home and school helps families to feel connected to our school and students to be successful. Parents and family members are always welcome at school. We often communicate with our families via telephone or email and also share information, photos and videos in the following ways:
COMPASS Education is a free app you can
download and use on any smartphone, tablet or
computer. Our school newsletters are posted on
COMPASS. We also send out notifications with information about whole school news and events in your child's class room via COMPASS.
At Yarraman Oaks Primary School we have our own Facebook
page. We regularly share messages, photos and videos with our families about what is happening at school.
