Our School Facilities

Berry Springs Primary School, located 60km south of Darwin, commenced operation in September 1977 and has grown from a small one-teacher school to a major primary school in the Palmerston and Rural area. The current facilities reflect this growth and in 2008 the school will catered for approximately 250 students from preschool to Year 6. There are:

• 10 dedicated classrooms with adjoining concertina doors which allow for single or double leaning areas. Each classroom is fitted with an interactive white board and a number of computers.
• A classroom with kitchen designed for special education programs
• A very modern, well resourced library with a bank of computers and an interactive whiteboard.
• A very modern and well designed preschool with a dedicated outside learning area with a swimming pool
• An assembly hall and general purpose room
• A very large oval, a roofed basketball court and practice cricket nets.

Visitors to the school, without fail, comment positively on the very spacious and attractive grounds. The extensive grounds allow plenty of room for children to play or sit and reflect in the garden areas.
The school is bounded by the Territory Wildlife Park and the Berry Springs Recreational Reserve.  Close ties with Territory Wildlife Park enable teachers to use this excellent learning environment for many aspects of their teaching and learning programs. The adjacent Berry Springs Recreation Reserve is also a wonderful venue for functions such as Twilight Sports and Bush Dances.
