Principal’s Welcome: A Message to Parents, Carers, and the Community
Welcome to the Berengarra School website. We hope the information compiled here offers an informative outline of the school’s vision and program.
Students who enrol at Berengarra School have all had challenges finding success in mainstream education. I am proud to lead a school that offers a fresh opportunity for students who need a different approach to engage in education. At Berengarra School, we aim to offer the very best learning environment, curriculum and processes to meet the diverse needs of students with social and emotional challenges. At the core of Berengarra School’s model is fostering a sense of belonging within our school community and nurturing students’ strengths and abilities to improve educational outcomes. Berengarra School offers hope for success and a path to future engagement in education and employment.
I thank you for taking the time to get to know our wonderful school and community. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have further questions or would like to book a school tour.
