Subjects have been chosen by students and the 2026 timetable construction is underway. There is a significant amount of work has been completed in order to ensure that Berwick College will commence the year with a strong, stable and exciting staffing profile.

I am really excited by the decisions that have already been made and am very much looking forward to working with this restructured and reinvigorated leadership team.

I have had the pleasure of attending special school events and celebrations this term, including the recent Music Concert. It was wonderful, through performance, to celebrate the journey of rigorous practice.

It was a particular highlight to spend four days with 38 outstanding Dance students in Hobart for the Dance Nationals. The students were excellent sports people and highly skilled, caring for each other and considerate and respectful of other competitors.

The Department of Education have a number of Student Scholarship opportunities which are open for application on Wednesday, 1st October.
