A quality education in a rural setting

All students from Year 7 to Year 12 are either weekly or full-time boarders.

This unique institution, established in 1922, provides a broad, well balanced curriculum in a rural setting situated beside the Murrumbidgee River just outside Leeton in the Riverina.

The school covers 280 hectares, including 180 hectares of intensive irrigation and dry land agriculture, as well as 60 hectares of natural bushland boarded by the Murrumbidgee.

For those students who come from farming properties, Yanco is a home away from home.

The school runs both sheep and cattle studs, and for those taking equine subjects, students are able to stable their horse at the school.

Apart from involvement in local team and sporting competitions, school facilities include a show stock centre, equine arena, tennis, netball and basketball courts, swimming pool, gymnasium, mountain bikes and kayaks, and 10 hectares of playing fields.

Prospective Year 7 students sit the Selective High School Placement Test in Year 6.

Students entering Year 8 to 12 should apply directly to the school, applications are accepted midyear, although requests outside this time may be considered.

Yanco Agricultural High School will be having Open Days on Monday, October 28, and February 17, 2020.

"Our vision statements says in a caring residential environment, students are encouraged to achieve their potential to become effective contributors in their communities and society within a dynamic and complex world," a spokesman said.

"Affirming the best of the schools traditions, our aim is to provide a well-balanced and diverse educational program with a focus on agricultural pursuits."
