Our staff

Meet our YPS team

Get to know our school staff, we're all here to help.

Our professional, university-educated teachers and friendly staff encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed. They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child’s wellbeing.

The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school. If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact us to make an appointment.
