Our Vision

Established in 1870, Wandin Yallock Primary School is nestled amongst orchards and general farming land in the picturesque Yarra Valley.

At Wandin Yallock, our teaching team and support staff are deeply committed to building strong, positive relationships and delivering purposeful teaching that helps every child feel safe, happy and fully engaged in successful learning. As a School-Wide Positive Behaviour school, we explicitly teach and reinforce the values of respect, responsibility and resilience, creating consistent expectations that make children feel secure and supported. Our approach is further strengthened by the Berry Street Education Model, which guides our trauma-informed, relationship-centred practice and supports students with emotional regulation, wellbeing and readiness for learning.

We continually seek improvement by investing in high-quality professional learning that directly benefits students. Our staff use comprehensive assessment tools, explicit teaching methods and student learning data to inform planning and refine practice. We offer a rich and diverse curriculum including French, Physical Education, Art and a growing focus on STEM, giving students opportunities to explore real-world problem solving, creative thinking and hands-on discovery.

Teachers and parents share a strong commitment to promoting our values, knowing that caring, responsible, resilient and respectful children grow from environments that prioritise positive behaviour, wellbeing and early intervention. Restorative Practices are central to how we work with students and families, ensuring interactions are grounded in understanding, dignity and respect.

Our students are fortunate to learn in flexible and beautiful learning studios designed to enhance powerful learning. These modern spaces, completed in 2013 as the final stage of our building works, support collaboration, creativity and a sense of belonging.
