I would like to extend a warm welcome to you from the Berry Street School.
The Berry Street School is a multi-campus, specialist, independent school offering free high-quality secondary education. We support young people who may not have had the opportunity to achieve academically, engage in their learning or have their wellbeing supported. Our students have found that mainstream education settings are unable to meet their learning and wellbeing needs.
At the Berry Street School, our goal is to support our students and their families or carers to remove any barriers that may exist preventing them from engaging with their education. Our campuses offer a bus service to help students attend school and every campus offers breakfast and lunch to ensure our students are nourished throughout the day. We support our students to engage fully with a diverse range of learning experiences, including excursions and training opportunities.
Our leadership team and school staff at each campus will whole-heartedly welcome your child or the child you are supporting into our community with unconditional positive regard. We proudly support inclusivity and diversity. Guided by our belief that all children and young people deserve to thrive, achieve and belong, we employ the best staff, many of whom are experts in their fields, and support them with professional learning and personal development opportunities to be their best for our students.
We are a data informed school, using the data to measure the growth and achievements of our students so that we can celebrate their success and design individual teaching and learning programs to meet each young person where they are at on their learning journey.
Our excellent staff engage students using the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) to build students’ confidence, wellbeing literacy and stamina to learn. Through BSEM, our school provides a stable, supportive and flexible environment to support students to flourish. We provide a rich curriculum to help our students develop wellbeing skills to become independent learners who can advocate for themselves in healthy ways.
We want our students to feel a sense of belonging to a community that is caring and aspirational.
I would like to once again welcome you to the Berry Street School, where we proudly support young people who deserve our best.
