In 2012 Berwick Grammar School (BGS) caters for boys from Years 5 to 9. In 2014 the school will expand to include Year 12. BGS is the brother school of St Margaret’s School in Berwick. The belief in single gender education underpins the philosophy of Berwick Grammar School, allowing for the design of programs and activities to reflect boys’ developmental needs and learning styles.
