Yalingbu Yirramboi - The Royal Children's Hospital School keeps students connected to their education by bridging the gap between hospital, home, and their base education setting.
Educators design and deliver targeted and individualised learning to improve valued student outcomes (academic, developmental, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing).
We set our learners up for success by ensuring they experience continuous engagement in learning.
We are dedicated to empowering students and caregivers, advocating for their needs, and fostering a supportive environment for them to become champions of their own education post-hospital discharge.
Learners at the Yalingbu Yirramboi - The Royal Children's Hospital School are a transient student cohort, who receive education interventions on a short or long-term basis dependant on eligibility and educational risk.

The IEP is reviewed regularly and updated in line with the student's educational progress.
Our hospital kindergarten program is led by qualified early childhood educators who, through engaging play-based learning, help prepare children for school.
