History
YAHS has a big history originally being a farm owned by Sir Samuel McCaughey (pronounced Mac-cak-ey). Most of the land was resumed by the state government but over 700 acres (280 ha) were eventually turned into a school. It was opened in March 1922 but in that time students cleaned it up and made it fit for a school. The front building (McCaughey) is still there and is used as administrative offices.
