At Yarra Junction Primary School we welcome new enrolments throughout the year and across all grades.Choosing a school for your son or daughter can be a confusing process. At Yarra Junction Primary School we understand that for families to make a decison that is the right fit, that they will want to see the learning spaces and specialists classes on offer at our school. This is why we understand that a guided tour is the best way for families to see our school in action. A personal guided tour can be a great way for families to see classes as they are happening, as well as provide an opportunity to ask questions and receive information in context as they walk around each learning area.The three main way to find out what YJPS has to offer your child:
