Sherbrooke Community School, situated in the leafy Dandenong Ranges, is a small Prep-12 government school that has been operating since 1985. With a capped student population of 160, students are grouped into four teaching teams; Prep – year 6, years 7-9, and VCE/VCAL years 10-12. Sherbrooke Community School is proud of the work it undertakes to provide a viable alternate educational setting. Sherbrooke students enjoy smaller class sizes enabling them to learn in an environment of inclusiveness and support.
We strive to develop a school community of empathic, passionate and active global citizens that strive for personal best. We endeavour to treat each student as a unique individual in a community setting. Sherbrooke Community School believes in pathways for all. We offer academic and vocational pathways seeking to find the right match for each student to reach their destination, whether that choice be University, TAFE or training, or employment.

EventsThe adidas School Fun-Run comes to Sherbrooke!
We will be holding an adidas School Fun-Run as a major fundraising event this year. The event will be held on Wednesday the 3rd of September 2014 at Ferny Creek Reserve. The adidas School Fun-Run is a healthy, fun and active fundraiser that ensures we send the right message to our students about getting active, having fun and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The main focus of this event is on participation. Family support is most appreciated as we encourage all students to get involved. All students will receive a Sponsorship Form to help collect sponsorship on behalf of the school. The funds raised will be used to purchase: teaching and learning resources across all year levels! The more money that we can raise, the more resources we can buy to help improve the education of all of our students. We ask all parents to read the Sponsorship Form and sign the front page to grant permission for their child to fundraise and participate in this event. Students who raise just $10 or more will receive a reward for effort. In the Sponsorship Form you will also find many other benefits like the chance to win a family holiday to Disneyland! Students wanting to track their progress, and use online fundraising, can do so by logging onto schoolfunrun.com.au/students and creating a Student Profile Page. Finally, we would like to welcome parents and family members to attend the adidas School Fun-Run event day at the school on Wednesday the 3rd of September 2014 to help cheer on the students. If you would like to volunteer and help out on the day please contact the school on 9755 2007. Your assistance is welcomed! Thank you, good luck and happy fundraising!
