Yarrabilba is a master-planned community located within Logan City, Queensland. Educational infrastructure is a key element of the suburb’s urban design, planned to accommodate residents from early childhood up to senior secondary completion. Upon full completion of the development, the master plan for Yarrabilba includes up to 11 future schools and educational facilities. This long-term master planning framework ensures that local learning facilities develop in tandem with population growth across Logan City.
At present, Yarrabilba features four major operational schools that provide complete Prep to Year 12 education. Families residing in the suburb have access to both public state schools and Catholic private schools, establishing parallel primary and secondary options inside the community.
Public State Schooling Options in Yarrabilba
Government-funded education in Yarrabilba is delivered across two separate public campuses that cater respectively to primary and secondary student cohorts.
Public primary education began in 2018 with the opening of Yarrabilba State School. As a public primary school, Yarrabilba State School serves children from Prep to Year 6. It provides foundational schooling for local children within the suburb.
Public high school education followed two years later with the opening of Yarrabilba State Secondary College in 2020. This public high school caters to students in Years 7 to 12. The opening of Yarrabilba State Secondary College created a full government education stream within Yarrabilba, allowing students to transition seamlessly from primary to secondary state schooling without leaving the suburb.
Catholic Primary and Secondary School Options
Parallel to the state school network, Yarrabilba features non-government Catholic education options across all major school year levels.
In fact, Catholic education introduced formal schooling to the area. St Clare’s Catholic Primary School opened in 2017, making it the first major school established in Yarrabilba. St Clare’s is a co-educational Catholic primary school that caters to students from Prep to Year 6, offering a faith-based alternative for primary education.
Faith-based high school education arrived in 2021 with the opening of San Damiano College. San Damiano College operates as a Catholic secondary school serving students in Years 7 to 12. With San Damiano College operating alongside St Clare’s Catholic Primary School, families in Yarrabilba have a full Catholic schooling option from Prep through Year 12.
Early Learning Services and Community Learning Spaces
Prior to primary school entry at Prep level, families in Yarrabilba are supported by several dedicated early childhood education providers. The suburb is serviced by early learning centers including Harmony Early Learning Journey, Goodstart Early Learning, and Sparkel Early Learning.
These early learning centers operate alongside community learning spaces created across the development. These community spaces support learning initiatives and social infrastructure within Logan City’s Yarrabilba master plan.
Future Educational Infrastructure Under the Master Plan
The combined presence of four major schools, three early learning centers (Harmony Early Learning Journey, Goodstart Early Learning, and Sparkel Early Learning), and community learning spaces establishes a comprehensive foundation for education in Yarrabilba. As a master-planned community, Yarrabilba’s master plan includes up to 11 future schools and educational facilities upon full completion. This allocation guarantees that future residential growth will be matched by additional school sites and educational infrastructure over time.
