**Location Profile**:
Yarrawonga College P-12 is situated in the North East border township of Yarrawonga, with a population of 8000. Separated by the Murray River, the NSW town of Mulwala is adjacent and has a further population of 3000. The river was widened in the early 1900's to form Lake Mulwala, which is an amazing resource for fishing, boating, camping and water sports, adding to the wide range of sporting and leisure opportunities across the border towns. The original purpose of the lake is to provide irrigation to 128,000 hectares of farming land via the Yarrawonga Main Cannel, which is 957kms long and services the Murray Valley irrigation region, from Yarrawonga to Barmah. The town boasts more sunny days than the Gold Coast and has thriving tourism, hospitality and education industries.

In 2010 Yarrawonga Secondary College and Yarrawonga Primary School merged to form Yarrawonga College P12, and at the beginning of 2018 the P-4 Campus relocated from the historical Primary school site at Tom Street to the new purpose built P-4 campus at Gilmore Street, alongside a new Administration block and the existing 5-8 campus, with the 9-12 Campus located across the road in Pinniger Street. The P-4 and 5-8 campuses are flexible learning spaces that can be opened up for group learning and shut down for more focused learning, which makes them unique classrooms in our district. The next stage of the building masterplan will be to build a new 9-12 campus on the Gilmore Street site.
