About the Business
Welcome to Caulfield Grammar School, Yarra Junction Campus, located at 240 Tarrango Road in Yarra Junction, Victoria, Australia. Our campus is an establishment and a point of interest, offering a unique educational experience for students.
At Yarra Junction Campus, we believe in the importance of exploring and appreciating the natural environment. Our students are challenged to consider the impact of their actions and lifestyle on the world around them. From their first visit in early Junior School, lasting memories are formed at Yarra Junction Campus.
Throughout their time here, students have the opportunity to engage in various activities that connect them with nature. They can have an eye-to-eye encounter with their adopted calf, conquer personal challenges on our ropes course, experience the serenity of sleeping under the stars, and explore the Australian bush from a canoe. These experiences create lasting memories and foster a deep appreciation for the environment.
One of the unique aspects of our campus is the involvement in the commercial activity of a dairy farm. Students actively participate in understanding how milk is produced and pasteurized, while also learning about the environmental impact of this activity. This hands-on experience allows them to connect classroom learning with real-world applications.
Our campus also offers eco cabins and Wadambawilam, a learning place designed with sustainability in mind. These buildings utilize solar and wind power to meet their electricity and hot water needs, showcasing practical examples of building design and technology that minimize our impact on the environment.
Beyond the classroom, students engage in experiential learning opportunities that extend their understanding of the natural environment, art, science, local Indigenous history, and food production. They have the chance to harvest and prepare food from our vegetable garden and support the operations of the working dairy farm. Each encounter is designed to be personalized and transferable, allowing students to reflect and apply their learning in real-life situations. This approach fosters decision-making skills, resilience, community awareness, and helps students clarify their values.
Whether in their Junior or Secondary years, the programs offered at Yarra Junction Campus have a profound effect on each learner. Our campus provides a unique and enriching educational experience that goes beyond traditional classroom learning. We invite you to explore all that Yarra Junction Campus has to offer and discover the transformative impact it can have on your child's education.
