Healthy eating
and garden

We love making and creating at Myrrhee School so much so that we dedicate one day a week to it. We provide opportunities for all students to develop confidence, creativity, and interest in science, technology, engineering, math, literacy, art, and learning as a whole through making. Occasionally have volunteers from the community to teach students a range of skills like Welding, Sculpting, Woodworking, Winemaking, Painting, Jewellery making, Sewing and Cooking and many others

Myrrhee School aims to change the way children think about food and to teach students how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, nutritious food.

At Myrrhee, students have a beautiful vegie garden all year round which all staff and students use to cook with.

PLD
Sounds

Here at Myrrhee School, all students have access to up to date technology to ensure we stay ahead of the game in technology. Students in all grades have access to their own iPad and online programs to organize, create and present their school work.

All grades at Myrrhee take part in Sounds Lessons. PLD's Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) Program is an evidence-based, comprehensive curriculum in Australia, that aligns with Science of Reading. The teaching sequence starts with our juniors with the basics of the initial (simple) code and then progresses to the extended code right up to our senior class.

Outdoor Fun and Community

Camps & Excursions

Learning in the heart of our beautiful North East. With 100 acres of bushland within our school grounds, there are opportunities for personal and learning skills and development - in areas such as communication, problem solving, working with others and thinking skills.

Our regular walks in our bush and learning in the outdoor classroom benefits all students' wellbeing.

We believe that there is so much out there in the world to learn and we don’t let the four walls of the classroom stops us from getting out there and taking part in it! We have a range of camps and excursions including Sailing Camp, Snow Trips, Coastal Camps, Bike Hikes and many more!
