Berwick Primary school

At Berwick Primary School we work to develop students who value and are committed to the school’s vision: Learning is a journey where, along the way we commit to excellence and the development of principled, compassionate, lifelong learners who demonstrate intercultural understanding and respect.   We  believe in a balanced approach to education. Our number one priority is our students and they are encouraged to balance the effort they put into their academic life with a pursuit of individual interests and passions. Such a balance of academic and extra-curricular activities ensures our students are engaged and motivated. We provide students with a safe, caring and supportive environment that maximises their learning potential and also develops the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills required to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Our students are empowered to develop the skills and attitudes that will meet the needs of the future.Our authorisation as an International Baccalaureate World School in the Primary Years Programme reflects this. Literacy and numeracy are the focus areas of a challenging personalised, inquiry based curriculum that meets the learning needs of all students. We have a strong Arts program with an annual whole-school production, participation in  Wakakirri  and a strong bands program being highlights. Specialist areas include:Visual and Media Arts, Music, Physical Education and Spanish.
