Berwick Grammar School

[EduCativ]

Established in 2009, BGS has been designed to meet the learning and developmental needs of boys precisely and maximize 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 school's pastoral and leadership programs and the ongoing commitment to authentic community service.
As the brother school of St Margaret's, academic excellence is a crucial goal at Berwick Grammar, and there is a high expectation for students to aim for success. However, there is a balance between academic rigor and the need to support each student's personal and social development. Programs have been purpose-built in Design Technology, Information Communication Technology, and Sport and Physical Education to engage and inspire boys to achieve their personal best. Confidence and self-esteem significantly influence a student's ability to achieve, and so are a crucial focus of our programs.
