At Barrett Adolescent Centre Special School we aim to provide an enriching and enjoyable experience for all our pupils, which ensures normality through education and helps to prevent anxiety about school work.

Where appropriate, we will provide continuity of education from the presenting school or a program within the framework of the state curriculum.

Education is part of the overall treatment of the adolescents and the school is an essential component.

Barrett Adolescent Centre Special School is an Education Queensland school, currently operating at Tennyson as a separate entity with its own principal, staff and resources.
