Yule Brook College is a proud Independent Public School inspired by our ethos of 'one student at a time in a community of learners'. Our school strives to meet the individual interests and needs of our students and provide support to develop the dimensions of the whole person.
First opened as Maddington Senior High school in 1978, the school became a middle school in 2000 and was renamed Yule Brook College. Since 2008 we have used the Big Picture design to provide a personalised learning plan based on each student's interests and passions. The Advisory class is an integral part of our school structure and students develop a strong bond with their class and teacher.
