At Yarra Junction (Education Outdoors), students learn to explore and appreciate their natural environment and are challenged to consider the effect of their actions and lifestyle on the world.
From their first visit in early Junior School, many fond memories are formed at Yarra Junction. Whether it’s a first eye-to-eye encounter with their adopted calf, the triumph of beating a personal challenge on the ropes course, the serenity of sleeping under the stars, or the thrill of experiencing the Australian bush from a canoe, Yarra Junction is a place to remember.

A Working Dairy Farm
Student involvement in the commercial dairy farm at Yarra Junction engages them in sustainability, environmental and global issues as they learn how milk is produced and pasteurised and how this activity impacts the environment.
Eco-Friendly Learning Spaces
The eco cabins and Wadambawilam (the Wurundjeri term for ‘learning place’) are practical examples of building design and technology which minimise our impact on the environment. These buildings use solar and wind power to meet their electricity and hot water needs.
Hands-on Learning Experiences
Students engage in hands-on learning beyond the classroom, exploring nature, Indigenous history, farming and sustainability. These unique programs foster resilience, decision-making and community awareness, offering transformative experiences that clarify values and enhance personal growth for both Junior and Secondary students.
