Principal's Welcome

I am honoured and privileged to be the Principal of Berwick College. We are a proud, high-achieving and caring school. Our learning community is vibrant and connected.

Berwick College prepares young people for a future in an increasingly changing world. Our students will face social, technological and economic change with the capability to adapt and respond with confidence and generosity. They will each be able to aspire to their own potential within a culture of collaboration, accountability and generosity toward others.

We believe that students thrive in a challenging academic program that also emphasises positive relationships and wellbeing. In 2023, the Berwick College Dux achieved an ATAR of 99.05 and we had students featuring in a range of Victorian Excellence Awards including Top Designs, Top Class Dance and the State Schools Spectacular.  

Berwick College students are immersed in a diverse and rigorous curriculum that promotes a holistic education across the six-year journey through the school. We support students to resilient, empathetic learners who challenge themselves to reach their highest potential and become valued, contributing members of society.

Our staff are deeply committed to the process of evaluating their instructional practice in order to continuously improve teaching and learning. Teachers work in a culture of high expectations and professional learning. Every learner is respected, valued and supported to progress through the curriculum at their own point of understanding.

Students at Berwick College are able to participate in a wide range of co-curricular and enrichment programs. Students in the high-performance programs such as the High Achievers’ Program, Basketball Academy and Dance Academy excel in their field, with many students achieving at a state and national level.

Students may also access a huge range of opportunities for team sports competition, offered through the School Sports Victoria program. The hugely popular music and arts programs cater for all abilities, and offer opportunities for participation in many displays, concerts and presentations throughout the school year. The School Production is a highlight of the school calendar. At Berwick College, we empower students to explore the opportunities around them, to discover passions, and to work cooperatively and meaningfully with others as part of their daily lives.

I invite you to explore the Berwick College website. I hope that you will gain the sense that this is a caring community that delivers a high-quality, inclusive education.

We look forward to welcoming you.
