Things to know
Virtual Tour
You are welcome to have a look at our Virtual Tour to learn about our beautiful school.
COVID-19 Update
The Victorian Government will continue to provide rapid antigen tests (RATs) for use by students and staff for the remainder of Term 2.
As of Monday May 23rd, it is recommended that RATs are used by students and staff only when symptomatic i.e. we do not recommend that non-symptomatic students or staff conduct RATs twice a week.
RATs are still required to be used for five days if a student or staff member is a close contact of a confirmed case and they are attending/working at school.
The school must be notified if a child is considered a close contact and the student must wear a mask at school, at all times, unless eating or drinking.
Students must continue to notify the Department of Health and the school if they return a positive RAT result. Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support during this time.

Downball Arrives in the Upper Yarra Valley
Hi parents/guardians of the Upper Yarra Primary School area,
Downball Australia is extremely excited to teach the underrepresented sport of Downball at the 'Aussie Sports Day' on the 3rd of June. We hope the kids learn more about the rules of the game or improve on some existing skills.
In anticipation of this, we'd like to invite each and every child from all the schools involved with the 'Aussie Sports Day' to our Official 2022 Downball Tournament at the Maroondah Nets on the 12th of June. This is an opportunity for your child to try a sport that hasn't been represented outside the school environment before. Prizes will be on offer as well as the opportunity to meet other Downball fanatics and to celebrate the greatness of the game!
If you'd like some more information, head to www.downballaustralia.com.au
To buy tickets and partake in the making of Downball history, head on over to https://downballaustralia.com.au/tournament/p/official-12th-june-2022
I think a lot of us can agree that Downball is more than a game to play at lunchtime.
Thanks again for your time. We hope to see as many of you there as possible.
If you have any further inquiries, do not hesitate to contact me at nathan@downballaustralia.com.au
Kind regards, Nathan and the Downball Australia team.
