Enjoying the Challenge of Leadership
A good leader knows that before you can lead others you must first lead yourself. A BGS boy will investigate the qualities that contribute to leadership: an open mind, a sense of responsibility, strong decision-making, courage, empathy, resilience and respect. Through specially designed programs, through example and direct experience, boys will explore the concepts of leadership as it relates to themselves and to others.

All Outdoor Education activities will be underpinned by the BGS Leadership Program that promotes challenge, teamwork and success. An appreciation of the natural environment will be nurtured alongside the development of practical and co-operative skills.

Dedicated Staff - Role Models for the Future
The teachers of Berwick Grammar will be chosen for their expertise and commitment towards teaching boys. Both male and female staff will be well-qualified in their field(s) and share a strong understanding of how to motivate boys to participate fully in the learning programs provided. Teachers who inspire and encourage their students provide great role models for the future.

Academic excellence is a key goal in BGS' inquiry based curriculum and there is a high expectation for students to aim for success. There is, however, a balance between academic rigor and the need to support each student's personal and social development. Confidence and self-esteem influence significantly a student's ability to achieve and so are central to our pastoral program.

Question, Explore, Discover
Through a range of innovative programs, students will be encouraged to learn in a variety of contexts. An extensive Arts Program will explore creative expression through music, dramatic and fine arts, whilst technology studies will engage boys with hands-on tasks such as woodwork and electronic circuitry.

Technology is a strong feature of the curriculum at every level. All students use their own notebook computer as a learning tool in all subject areas. The wireless based intranet supports learning both at school and at home.

The School's co-curricular program includes an extensive sporting component that provides both House sport and inter-school sporting opportunities. On campus facilities will include a gymnasium and basketball/tennis courts as well as an oval. Participation in such activities as the Human Powered Vehicle program will further enrich student experience.

A Quest for Life
At Berwick Grammar we believe that a good education is about developing character as well as intellect. With integrity and commitment, young men can confidently follow the path of their choosing towards a balanced life and satisfying career.

Of course, such success is not achieved by the School alone. At Berwick Grammar we will work in partnership with every family to encourage each student to focus on achieving his personal best in all he does.
