Carbrook Animal Assited Learning Centre

A place of belonging where young people can learn and grow.

Who We Are

We are a Christian Independent Special Assistance School catering for students from Year 7-12 who have disengaged from mainstream schooling. Carbrook Centre supports students impacted by a variety of factors including social and emotional difficulties, disability and complex trauma. Our holistic approach incorporates animal assisted learning, focusing on student wellbeing and individualised education.

Our Vision

Transformed futures for all young people in our school community.

Our Mission

To cultivate a school community of belonging where young people with complex needs can learn and grow socially, emotionally, cognitively and spiritually.

Our Values

Three Christian values, love, justice, and hope are at the core of Carbrook Centre. We are motivated by and committed to applying these values in our school community.

Our Programs

The programs at Carbrook Centre are conceptualised in three areas: student wellbeing, education program and animal assisted learning. We are a trauma informed school and understand that students need to feel a sense of safety and belonging before they can learn and grow.
