Henry Grossek has never been prouder to lead Berwick Lodge Primary School.
Mr Grossek – who has been the school’s principal since it opened 32 years ago – has been heartened by the resilience shown by the school community throughout the Covid pandemic.
He marvels at the meaningful relationships one can develop when they are part of the Berwick Lodge family.
“For example, the past two years under the cloud of Covid-19, the camaraderie and resilience of the school community has been inspiring,” he said.
“It’s an understatement to say that our student leaders are exemplary young people and wonderful role models for their peers.
“As an adult, speaking with them, sharing views on a wide range of matters, reinforces my view that our future will be safe in the hands of our young people of today.”
Mr Grossek said that this is also reassuring as an educator.
“Our school is undoubtedly on the right path in preparing our children for leadership when their turn comes as it inevitably will,” he said.
“On another note, I marvel at how much our students grow, both academically and socially over the seven or so years in which they attend our school.
“Engaging with them is a personally exhilarating experience – all the more so at the moment, given the long periods of remote learning we have all faced in recent times.
“You see, I love learning too and they teach me so much too. Why not contact us and see for yourself?”
Berwick Lodge Primary School is located at 139-145 Mansfield St, Berwick. For enrolment enquiries, phone 9707 1766.
