Currently enrichment classes are offered in stage 2 & 3. Students with particular learning difficulties receive extra support from staff trained in working with students with additional needs. For students to whom English is not their first language specific support programs are provided.
At Beresford Road, we endeavour to ensure our students' primary school experiences are happy, productive and rewarding. All students are treated with respect and individual needs are met in a caring, responsive approach. The development of positive attitudes, self-esteem, self-discipline and respect of others is fostered through recognition, achievement and appropriate reinforcement.
The wonderful support and excellent contributions in the education of their children by parents and family members makes for a very strong partnership and contributes greatly to the high reputation that is enjoyed by our school and students within the wider community. The school is highly supported by our active and committed P&C. For the benefit of working parents, Before and After School Care is available on site.
Welcome to Beresford Road Public School, the staff and I look forward to working with you and your child throughout their learning journey.
