Overview
At Caulfield Grammar School, we believe students of all ages should be provided a range of domestic and international experiences which challenge their perceptions of their own limits, assumptions about other people and places. It is only by experiencing the world firsthand, that one can truly understand the entirety of their own and others’ potential. Each year our students have the opportunity to participate in a range of rural and remote experiences immerses them in a set of diverse environments and cultures, fostering cultural awareness, empathy, leadership and independence. The Student Experience team supports the delivery of these experiences across the school with a particular focus on the Yarra Junction Program and Kakadu Program.
Yarra Junction Program
Located in the Yarra Valley, this campus serves as a hub for our junior and middle school students, offering tailored programs that progressively build upon each other, as students advance through the years. Activities are designed to challenge and engage students and teachers, and takes place in the natural environment, promoting adventure-based experiences that deliberately push students outside their perceived limits. By doing so, we encourage our students to rewrite their understanding of their own capabilities, learn about the impact they can make, and instil a sense of responsibility for a sustainable future.
Additionally, the campus serves as a working Dairy Farm, where students assist with milking and farm operations.
