Location Profile
Gaayip-Yagila Primary School is located in the Merrifield Estate, Mickleham and is a dynamic and thriving education setting dedicated to providing high-quality education. Our school is recognised for its inclusive and supportive learning environment, where academic excellence is fostered alongside personal growth and wellbeing.
Our purpose-built, state-of-the-art educational facility is designed to meet the needs of modern learners. The campus features flexible, and adaptive learning spaces, as well as specialist facilities for Auslan, food technology, library, science, and visual arts. The Sports and Arts Centre boasts a full-size competition court and performing arts space, providing outstanding opportunities for student learning and engagement.

TEACHING AND LEARNING
At Gaayip-Yagila Primary School, our teaching and learning model is grounded in explicit instruction, supported by the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0) and high-impact teaching strategies. We deliver a structured, evidence-based approach that ensures clarity, consistency, and strong student engagement.
In Mathematics, we have embedded explicit teaching to strengthen student learning outcomes, while in Reading, we implement Little Learners Love Literacy (LLLL) in the early years and build comprehension and critical thinking skills in Years 3-6.
Our school is achieving strong academic growth, with six learning areas now at or above state level. Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS) data also reflects high levels of student engagement, safety, and connectedness.
We are proud of our diverse community, including a high proportion of EAL learners, and we work closely with families to ensure every student feels safe, valued, and successful. Inclusive programs, including our Koorie group, celebrate culture and strengthen community connections.
VISION
Gaayip-Yagila Primary School's commitment to excellence will empower students to become connected, engaged and collaborative learners. Students will participate in high quality teaching throughout every lesson, taking an active role in identifying their learning needs and co-constructing experiences aimed at their point of need. They will thrive academically, socially and emotionally and value diversity through showing respect for self, others and the community (locally and globally).
