St Michael’s Grammar School is one of Australia’s leading independent coeducational schools, educating students from Kindergarten to VCE. Creative, inquiring minds learning from, with and for the world. At St Michael’s Grammar School, our students demonstrate daily the power of confident, forthright individuals working in synergy to solve the challenges of today and tomorrow. Students at St Michael’s perform, exhibit, play sport and learn in some of Melbourne’s most iconic, creative and professional spaces. In addition, our carefully sequenced set of outdoor learning programs that comprise the Exodus program from Years 3-11, sees our students immersed in the beautiful and rugged natural environments of Victoria and beyond. At the core of our strong, cohesive community are four values, dignity, respect, care and compassion. We aim to make decisions and live in accordance with these as expressed in our Responsible and Respectful Community Code of Conduct. Engaging with and respecting a diverse range of perspectives is a central principle of our inclusive community and a vital component of our teaching and learning focus. The enduring benefits of a St Michael’s education are expressed in the diversity, creativity and community spirit of our graduates who leave with the determination to follow their passions, the confidence to lead in their fields of endeavour, and the wisdom to live balanced and meaningful lives inspired by a commitment to making the world a better place.

Yarra Valley Grammar overlooks the Yarra Valley and picturesque Dandenong Ranges. Our students excel under the guidance of great teachers who love what they do and seek to inspire them to strive for excellence.

They have a genuine interest in getting to know their students, so they can teach them effectively, encourage them to achieve their best, identify issues or problems, and care for their welfare. Yarra Valley Grammar’s broad curriculum is responsive to individual student needs, with extra opportunities for enrichment and support. Key Learning Areas include Art and Design, Business Studies, Design and Technology, English, Health and Physical Education, Humanities, ICT, Languages, Mathematics, Outdoor Education and Science. A unique aspect of Yarra Valley Grammar is its spacious grounds and extensive onsite playing fields, superior facilities for music, drama and dance within the School’s Performing Arts Centre and Music School and the School’s internationally acclaimed Hearing Unit has a high-tech facility onsite.
