Berwick Grammar School

Established in 2009, BGS has been designed to specifically meet the learning and developmental needs of boys, and to maximise opportunities for boys in terms of learning experiences, state-of-the-art facilities and extra-curricular programs.

Our vision for boys is to develop young men of integrity who have a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to making the world a better place. This vision starts locally and all BGS students are expected to be significant contributors to their local community. This is achieved through the schools pastoral and leadership programs and the ongoing commitment to authentic community service.

As the brother school of St Margaret’s, academic excellence is a key goal at Berwick Grammar and there is a high expectation for students to aim for success. There is, however, a balance between academic rigour and the need to support each student’s personal and social development. Programs have been purpose built in Design Technology, Information Communication Technology, and also in Sport and Physical Education to engage and inspire boys to achieve their personal best. Confidence and self-esteem influence significantly a student’s ability to achieve and so are a key focus of our programs.

St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar is a school that educates children so that they can strive to be their best selves, now and in the future, for the betterment of all humanity and the planet.

We action this through our values - Courage to do the right thing, Curiosity to know and learn, Character to be one's true self and Respect to live wisely and compassionately with others and the planet. The School’s programs and teaching are consistent with the principles of Australian democracy.
