Hymba Yumba Independent School

Gurumba Bigi and Welcome to Hymba Yumba

Inspiring jarjums to learn and lead in both worlds

Prep-Year 12 Co-education

Hymba Yumba, (Bidjara Language) a Listening and Learning Place, is an innovative education and community building initiative.

At Hymba Yumba we pride ourselves in offering jarjums a Prep-Year 12 education grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. We are an independent, co-educational school based in Springfield with a strong focus on excellence in the Arts and Science.

In the tradition of their peoples, jarjums are taught to focus on the 4 principles of respects:

Respect for Self

Respect for Elders

Respect for Family

Respect for Community and Country

Jarjums build strong and proud Indigenous identities in a nurturing and inspiring learning environment. The contribution of knowledge and wisdom by Elders, families, staff and community is at the core of the education process at Hymba Yumba. Jarjums are actively engaged in education and expected to achieve solid academic outcomes. Their confidence, commitment and self-esteem grows and their pride in Culture drives them forward.
The School includes: Prep-Year 12, Vocational Education and Training, health and well-being services and an Elders Cultural Yarnin’ place. The knowledge and wisdom that Elders, families, staff and young people bring to the school community is valued and respected.
