Welcome
To Berri Primary School
Berri Primary School has a
focus upon success-orientation which underpins both classroom and yard
programs. Staff provide lunchtime interest and sporting activities for
students who wish to participate. An Aboriginal Studies room
is a
drop-in/meeting centre, a display area for Aboriginal artifacts and a
teaching and learning room. Successful
students are selected to go to
the 'Success Room', which operates each Friday, and acknowledges
students who have been successful in any area of school life.
The room
provides facilities for activities, art/crafts/cooking, computer games
and other 'hands-on' activities. Support is provided through Negotiated
Education Plans and student development plans that ensure that students
are successful in learning. The school works
in partnership with
parents, caregivers and the community to build teamwork, success and
excellence in a positive environment.
Our school has a broad mix of
socio-economic, cultural and first language backgrounds,
with
approximately 53 per cent on School Card. It also has a highly-transient
population
due to the nature of employment in the district.
Approximately 9 per cent of students are from an Aboriginal background.
