ANZAC Day Ceremony
Every year, YSS holds a special ANZAC Day ceremony. This year, like many years before, will include class wreath laying, and instrumental music by the Band and Strings Ensemble. The special significance of Honour Ave plays a part in our ceremony. Since 1924 the students at the school have brought along small individual bouquets which they take out to Honour Ave and place around the trees which were planted by the community after WW1 to remember the 97 men and women who came from the area and who lost their lives during the war.
All school community members are invited to join us for the ANZAC Day ceremony on Wednesday 24th April at 9am on the main oval. We encourage all students to bring a small posie of flowers in sustainable wrapping to lay around the trees on Honour Avenue during the ceremony.
The traditional ANZAC Day March on the 25th April will assembly on Park Rd from 6:45am.
Formal School Uniform is required for both ceremonies.
Problem Solving Wheel
Students across the school have been working on their problem solving skills in the playground. This problem solving wheel has been helpful for students to generate strategies to use on the spot when things aren’t going to planned. It’s becoming a valuable learning tool at YSS, and you might like to use it at home too.
Prep Information Evening
Our first Prep Information Evening for 2025 enrolments will be held next Tuesday 23rd April in the T-Block Curiosity Centre at 6pm. We will be showcasing a day in the life of a Prep student at Yeronga State School, as well as our signature teaching and learning programs. All interested families are welcome to attend.
Learning at YSS
The Curriculum at Yeronga State School is full of big ideas! We create learning opportunities for students to connect with the world around them, by engaging in authentic contexts, within the Australian Curriculum.
We use the learning assets to drive student’s access to the curriculum. 
This term, we are focusing on the concept of cause and effect. Contexts for learning in the early years include exploring physical science and the effects of movement in outdoor learning and play environments. Year 2 students are exploring their connection to places locally and nationally and the effects different landscapes and human made resources have on that place. Year 3 students will explore cause and effect through biological science when they study animals, their environments and various elements impacting on these. Year 4 students will look at interactions, causes and effects as they explore how the water cycles through the environment.
Year 5 students will be focussing on how they can interact with and have impact on the 17 Global Goals.
