Community Events

Our students enjoy playing a role in our local community.

The ANZAC Day Parade at The Entrance provides an opportunity for our students to march and take part in the celebrations. Our school leaders are always enthusiastic to take part and represent our school.

Inspired by the Duke of Edinburgh Award, the Duke of Berkeley Vale program covers four key areas: developing a skill, engaging in physical fitness, and contributing to the school or community through volunteering.
