Yorkeys Knob State School is located in the lush tropical Northern suburbs of Cairns where the rainforest meets the ocean. Our experienced and passionate staff are committed to delivering a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment that provides challenging opportunities for our diverse cohorts of students.
Through the use of Positive Behaviour for Learning framework, we strive to provide a positive environment for learning and engagement, while fostering a strong sense of belonging. We support the wellbeing and academic development of the whole child through our core school values – we are kind, we are determined, we are mindful, we are inclusive.
Learning is at the centre of everything we do at YKSS, and as such, we have strong academic outcomes. Students are catered for according to their diverse needs and are supported in environments conducive to learning.
