Dux of St Margaret’s School for 2007, Samantha Khalid.ESTABLISHED in 1926, St Margaret’s School Berwick is a successful independent school with a reputation for educational excellence, leadership and innovation.
A non-denominational school, St Margaret’s is not associated with any particular church body, although it is Christian in origin and retains a strong values-based approach to ethics and citizenship.
The school prides itself on the philosophy of personal best in all areas with both students and staff encouraged to set high goals and to strive to attain them.
This was reflected in the strong academic success experienced last year.
“At St Margaret’s the triumph of our girls in their final year is a team effort where very dedicated teachers and a highly supportive group of parents have worked together to give each girl her best possible chance for success,” said a school spokesperson.
The students’ endeavours have not been restricted to their academic pursuits.
Staff said that each girl has made her own unique contribution to the fabric of the school, whether through her involvement in the school’s co-curricular program, her participation in community events or through her position as a leader of the school.
“By working together the students have learned the value of teamwork,” they said.
“We congratulate the class of 2007 on achieving excellent results in their VCE studies.
