Location ProfileSherbrooke Community School is a P-12 school located in the township of Sassafras in the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. It has a capped enrolment of 160 students. The school curriculum is based on the Victorian Curriculum Standards. The school offers both VCE and VET/VM pathways for students. Our student body has changed over the years; originally Sherbrooke was seen as an alternative setting catering for students with learning needs and those experiencing difficulties fitting into mainstream education. It was often seen as the type of school which catered for at-risk and marginalised young people. Whilst this is still true and we do have a number of special needs students, we have also been attracting students who thrive in a smaller setting rather than a large school. We strive to be a nurturing and welcoming educational environment with high expectations for both teaching and learning.
