School Library
The Jenny Goldthorp Library was officially opened 2011 and is located opposite the School Hall. Students are encouraged to borrow books each fortnight from the school library. In addition, the library is open at lunchtimes three days per week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with the Teacher Librarian. Teachers can also take their class to the library for research on Monday or Friday.
School Hall
Our School Hall was constructed in 2006. It is used by the school on a daily basis as part of our dance, drama, music and sport programs and also for our weekly assemblies. The hall is also utilised by local community groups outside of school hours. Enquiries are welcome regarding hiring rates and availability: yarrawarra-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au
