Welcome from our principal
“I’m excited to welcome you to our school, where we create a positive culture and supportive environment for every child to flourish. Living our community values and behaviours known as "The Berry Way" ensures our individual and collective success, and has led our school to receive multiple national awards including Australian Primary School of the Year, as well as a host of excellence awards for student wellbeing and community partnerships.
We’re proud of our student successes that come as a result of our dedicated staff, and strong partnerships with our families and community organisations.
Together, we create an inclusive school environment where students feel safe, valued and inspired to learn.I invite you to explore our website and visit our school to discover what makes Berry Public School special.
