Berwick College is aco-educational,public school for years 7 to 12 situated in the outerMelbourne metropolitan suburb ofBerwick. It was once the largest single campus government secondary college inVictoria.
In 2006 the school starteddownsizing with the majority of a block of portables removed. The school consists of approximately 1500 students and 200 teachers, principals and aides.
At the state election in 2006, the VictorianLabor Party canvassed plans to build a junior campus of Berwick Secondary in theTimbarra Estate.[citation needed] This school would serve students in years seven to nine. The campus had been proposed, at past state elections, to act as a stand-alone campus. These ideas, however, were later rejected by the Government due to feasibility concerns.[citation needed]
