About Take Two & Berry Street Schools
Take Two is a state-wide trauma-informed therapeutic service supporting infants children young people and families impacted by trauma neglect and disrupted attachment. Operating under Berry Street Take Two collaborates with the Department of Families Fairness and Housing community service agencies and research institutions to deliver intensive intervention programs and drive best-practice approaches in the sector.
The Berry Street School is a specialist independent school that supports around 200 students from years 7 to 12. There are 4 campuses across Victoria in Ballarat Morwell Narre Warren and Shepparton. Students at the Berry Street school have become disengaged from mainstream education. They come from a variety of backgrounds: some have experienced bullying in mainstream schools and some are in out-of-home care (foster kinship and residential care). This means they often have gaps in their learning.
These students need individualised support to keep them on track with their learning and make sure they have the same opportunities as their peers. Without this support young people are at risk of disengaging completely from school which can lead to poorer life outcomes.
