Yurran P-9 College is situated in the Point Cook Southwest area of East Werribee. We are a new Prep to Year 9 college opening 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, our school is ideally placed at the heart of a thriving new community.
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 reflective, innovative, collaborative classroom teachers to join our founding teaching team. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of a new Prep to Year 9 College from day one.
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 Professional 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.
