The St Margaret's senior girls campus and co-educational junior school are both located in Berwick. The head of campus is Steven Middleton, with the current school principal being Annette Rome. BGS has approximately 180 enrolled students and is part of the Victorian School of Performing Arts.

Berwick Grammar School was opened by then Governor of Victoria, David de Kretser, on 9 November 2009.

Between the years 2009 (the foundation year of the school) and 2014, the school progressively expanded from offering years 5 to 7, to eventually becoming a year 5 to 12 school. In 2016, it was announced that by 2018 the Year 5 and 6 classes would be relocated to the St Margaret's junior school campus in Berwick, to focus on co-educational opportunities within the junior school.

History
Berwick Grammar School was founded in 1882 as a school of approximately 400 students; contemporary commentators noted that the enrollment was below expectations, but spoke highly of those students who were enrolled. In World War I, nine students signed up as soldiers and were killed in action, which spurred the creation of a memorial on campus grounds in 1920.
