What we offer

An Abunance of Opportunities Available at Berry Public School! 

At Berry Public School, we provide all students with a wide range of high quality academic and extracurricular opportunities that are curriculum aligned and targeted at student needs and interests.  

The success of our programs is evidenced by the data that we collect to better inform our teaching and learning practices. Academically, we are amongst the highest performing schools in NSW in terms of student performance in standardised testing (such as NAPLAN). We have a decade long trend of significantly outperforming statistically similar school groups and the state average in terms of student performance in Literacy and Numeracy.

In order to best cater for the cohort of students we have at Berry, we have programs and opportunities in place to cater for High Potential & Gifted students, which you can read about here.

Within our holistic approach to student learning we also offer a range of intensive Learning Support programs that help students get the assistance they may need to achieve. These programs are run by our outstanding Learning and Support Team, which you can read about here.
