Many enrichment opportunities are offered; some of these include the Grade 5/6 film festival, radio show, garden club, State School Spectacular, interschool sports, sporting clinics, camps and excursions.
In 2002, the school was successful in gaining ISO9001-2015 Quality Management System Certification. Berwick Lodge PS is the first government school in Australia to have attained this internationally accredited management status.
