Berinba Public School is located in the rural town of Yass and was established in 1972. Enrolments have been steady over the past 3 years leading to a current enrolment of 267 students. The school draws students from South Yass and villages towards the ACT border including Murrumbateman. Recent enrolments include new families from Canberra who have moved to Yass as a lifestyle choice. Many of these commute to Canberra for work. Students are drawn from a wide range of socio economic backgrounds and come from both urban and rural settings and include 25 Aboriginal students.
Over the past three years the school has implemented initiatives in three priority areas. These being a strong focus on improving literacy and numeracy outcomes for all students, increasing student engagement through the Positive Behaviour for Success program and Kidsmatter and in implementing the Australian Curriculum in English, Mathematics and Science.
The school has modern and recently built classrooms, hall, library, canteen, administration block and covered outdoor learning area.
