history
an innovative government p-12 school
Sherbrooke is a small school with a capped enrolment of 160 students. We are situated in the Dandenong Ranges at Sassafras. Our main building is the historic homestead ‘Clovelly’ which has a varied history. Our students come from the Dandenong Ranges and beyond. We restrict our class numbers to 8-10 per primary grade and 15- 20 per secondary year levels.
We have no playground restrictions and students are free to mix at all levels. Our students are encouraged to develop as free thinkers with responsibility for themselves, and to their school, and their local and global communities. We have no uniform policy, but we have a dress code. Students are able to wear their choice of clothing, hair colour and jewellery as long as it conforms to our standards of appropriate dress. These standards include: no offensive or inflammatory messages on tee shirts, any revealing clothes and suitable clothing for the weather. It can be extremely hot or cold in the hills depending on the season. We have no bell or warning system to indicate class starting and finishing times as students are encouraged and supported to develop the self reliance to attend and get to class on time.
As a government school we deliver the mandated curriculum and offer two streams of excellence at VCE level. Students are able to participate in our Creative Arts stream and/or our Science stream. We also have a number of available VET courses that include music and multimedia. Extra curricula activities at Sherbrooke are often environmentally based as we participate in many environmental challenges. We also offer free music lessons in Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboards, Drums and Vocals. We offer Language classes in Mandarin and keep up our communication with our Sister Schools.
