Laa Yulta Primary School

Find out more about the kindergarten at Laa Yulta Primary School.

We built a new primary school in Mambourin. It opened in 2024, helping the growing local population get a great education close to home. The school is open for enrolments from Prep to Grade 6.

Mark Zahra was appointed as the first principal of the school.

The school was known by its interim name, Black Forest East Primary School, during planning and design. Laa Yulta Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following a 2-week community consultation. Laa Yulta (pronounced la yule-ta) are Wadawurrung words meaning many stones.

Facilities

The school has the following facilities:

• an administration and library building
• 3 learning neighbourhoods
• a community hub with indoor multi-use court, canteen and arts/music spaces
• hard courts
• a sports field
• a carpark
• a kindergarten.

Students have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. Outside, they have shade sails for sun protection. We have designed the school to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage.

Kindergarten

We built Laa Yulta Primary School Kindergarten at the school. Having the kindergarten and school together may help local children make a smooth transition into primary school and can also make drop-off time simpler for some families.
