OVERVIEW OF
BERRY STREET’S
APPROACH TO
EDUCATION
Berry Street believes that all children have the right to the
highest quality education and training. Research tells us that
education provides a pathway to social inclusion and greater
life opportunities, as well as helping children build social
connections and resilience. The link between better educational
outcomes and improved health, social and academic outcomes
is the basis upon which we run our education programs.
To achieve this:
