Berwick College commenced in 1977 with the motto “Crescam – I shall grow” and today, through our strong emphasis on excellence in teaching and learning, our students continue to demonstrate growth.
Our 2020 Dux, Jessica, achieved 97.45 and our students achieved excellent VCE results, featuring in Top Designs, Top Class Dance and the State Schools Spectacular. Elite programs such as High Achievers, Basketball Academy, Dance Academy and Instrumental Music are going from strength to strength.
The Victorian Education Excellence Awards recognise inspirational teachers, principals and education support staff who improve schools and support children and young people. Berwick College’s outstanding staff have been consistently recognised as winners and finalists in the following categories – Outstanding Secondary Teacher (Finalist 2020, Winner 2018), Outstanding Koorie Education (Winner 2017, Winner 2021), Outstanding Education Support – Wellbeing Team (Finalist 2016 and 2017) and Learning Support Team (Finalist 2021) and Outstanding Business Manager (Finalist 2019 to 2021).
Dedicated teachers, wellbeing staff, career guidance and transition programs ensure our students are well supported and cared for throughout their school life. Activities and events are held throughout the year to support our students to build organisational and study skills, develop strong peer relationships, enhance resilience and empathy, and to build a sense of connectedness to our school community. Learning Teams look after our students where we get to know each student, tracking their achievements and encouraging them to make a difference in the wider community through supporting a charity of their choice.
Berwick College offers an extensive range of school and inter-school sporting activities in outstanding sporting facilities, including hockey pitches, tennis courts, netball courts, the basketball stadium and fitness gym, and access to the City of Casey Athletics track and Berwick Leisure Centre.
Our new Community Health and Wellbeing Centre ensures all students, parents and carers have access to the best possible care for trauma, mental health and physical wellbeing.
I am very proud of this College; our inclusive education, our provision of pathways for all students, our multi-generational connections and our commitment to delivering successful outcomes for our students.
Parents and students are warmly invited to our 2023 Year 7 Information Evening on Wednesday 4th May at 6:30pm and College Tours are available on Wednesdays at 9:30am throughout the year. Bookings available through www.berwickcollege.com.au
