Berendale School is a modern and innovative school for secondary aged students with a mild to moderate intellectual disability. The school is located in Hampton East and services students in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Berendale School fosters an inclusive learning environment where students can develop their skills and abilities that will enable them to work, volunteer and add value to the community. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather today, the Boonwurrung/Bunurong People, and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.
