Yurran P-9 Collegeis situated in the Werribee South. We are a new Prep to Year 9 college opened in January 2026 with Foundation to Year 5 enrolments only, with subsequent year levels being added each year. The school will have places for up to 1,250 students (650 primary and 600 secondary places) when complete. Located adjacent to the new Kindergarten, Ngurraga School, and close to the future Point Cook Southwest town centre. We are committed to supporting each child and creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every student is supported to achieve excellence in all areas of learning and wellbeing.

Our students benefit from having teachers with a range of different experiences and skills working together in teams, to support the learning of all students. We offer a broad curriculum based on building strong foundations in Literacy and Numeracy. Our curriculum is further enhanced by outstanding specialist programs in Physical Education, Science, Technology and Arts.

We are seeking flexible, collaborative, and enthusiastic staff to join our founding team. The successful applicant will be open to new learning, committed to working collaboratively, and willing to embrace innovative teaching practices in a new school setting.

Teaching and Learning

Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to cater for the individual needs of a diverse range of students. We promote and implement evidence‑based teaching and learning strategies. We aim to deliver high‑quality education to improve student outcomes in Numeracy and Literacy underpinned by a strong wellbeing strategy.





This will be achieved through the implementation of Qualified Learning Community, an innovative curriculum and an Instructional Model, to guide us in implementing consistent, high quality, assessment, teaching and learning practices with clear expectations for staff, students and parents.

School Vision and Values

At Yurran P-9 College our vision is to provide a quality education which empowers all students to explore their potential, strive for excellence and grow into individuals who contribute positively to their communities.

Our core values, Respect, Growth Mindset, and Learning, guide every action and decision, helping students thrive both at school and beyond.

We are committed to building strong partnerships with families, believing that together we can support every student's learning and wellbeing journey.

We opened in January 2026 and initially share the site of Ngurraga School. The Yurran P-9 College's site is expected to be completed Term 4, 2026. While sharing sites in the first year of opening, both schools are operating independently.
