Berry Street Model
We employ the Berry Street Model to create a supportive and trauma-informed learning environment.
This model focuses on understanding and addressing the impact of trauma on students’ lives. We use trauma-informed practices to create a safe and inclusive space, recognising that students may face various challenges outside the classroom.
By integrating the Berry Street Model into our educational framework, we aim to enhance the overall learning experience. This is to make sure that students feel supported and empowered to overcome challenges and succeed in their academic pursuits.
