Yungaburra State School, on the Atherton Tablelands, opened June 7th 1909. It continues to grow as this area develops. Yungaburra State School has a committed and motivated community of staff, students and parents whose aim is to work as a team to guide students through a quality educational process in all key learning areas. This school strives to provide a supportive learning environment that forms productive partnerships and gives equal opportunities for all to succeed. Our Prep to Year 7 curriculum has been established using the essential learnings of the key learning areas, with a focus on literacy and numeracy. Our school provides the study of Italian and Japanese. We provide early intervention strategies and learning and special needs support. Our school is constantly involved in community activities as well as cultural and sporting events. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in school activities and we recognise the value of the parental role in education.The enthusiastic P and C foster cohesion within the school and wider community. It is very much a community school in the sense that we have deliberately promoted the notion that 'it takes a village to raise a child'.
