Berengarra School

Church Find welcomes Berengarra School in Box Hill North, who are engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.

The school was established in 1976 by Ken Jago and Bruce Wicking, educators who recognised that not all young people were capable of success in a mainstream school environment.

Berengarra is a non-profit co-educational school that provides innovative educational programmes to meet the individual needs of adolescents with social and emotional problems. We aim to break the cycle of failure and skill students for responsible participation within the community.

Berengarra is a non-profit co-educational secondary school that meets the individual needs of students of normal intelligence but with social and emotional problems.

Berengarra’s program is based on a model that incorporates cognitive behaviour, narrative, and solution-focused therapies.

The school is a loop out of the mainstream system and students generally stay for between six months and two years.

We have considerable experience working with:

    ADD and ADHD
    Aspergers’ Syndrome
    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
    school refusal and conduct disorders
    anxiety and depression
    other mental health issues.
