QuickStats adjusts small counts to protect privacy, so table rows may not sum to totals. Every figure here is quoted as published; we never add parts to make a new total. Signature project ## Which model finds the fastest-growing stations? We took the 219 stations with figures in FY18-19, FY23-24 and FY24-25 and ranked them by FY24-25 entries as a share of FY18-19. Then we tried three ways of predicting that ranking and scored each one with two standard ranking metrics. | Model | Precision at 10 | NDCG at 10 | Berwick placed | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Last year's growth, FY23-24 against FY18-19 | 0.8 | 0.9898 | 8th | | Distance from Flinders Street | 0.2 | 0.6049 | 14th | | Weekend share of trips in FY18-19 | 0.1 | 0.487 | 210th | | Random order, average of 1,000 runs | 0.0475 | 0.553 | Anywhere | ### The plain model won Assuming last year's growth continues found eight of the true top ten and put Berwick exactly where it finished, eighth. ### Cleverer, worse Distance from the city and weekend share sound like sensible clues. Distance barely beat chance; weekend share did worse than chance on NDCG. ### Top of the list Merinda Park grew most, to 1.882 times its FY18-19 entries, then Officer at 1.697; Berwick's ratio was 1.166. ### Read a metric next to its baseline Random guessing scored 0.553 on NDCG at 10, because every station grew or shrank by a modest amount and so even a poor top ten earns partial credit. On its own, 0.6049 sounds respectable. Next to random, it shows distance from the city added very little. Always score a dumb baseline first. The models, scores and rankings are ours, built on the department's published estimates, which are rounded to the nearest 50. They show what happened in our test; we make no claim about why any station grew. The metrics behind it ## Two ways to score a ranked list A ranking model is judged on its top results, because those are the ones anyone reads. | Metric | What it measures | Blind spot | | --- | --- | --- | | Precision at 10 | How many of the model's top ten are in the true top ten | Ignores order inside the ten | | NDCG at 10 | Rewards high true values placed near the top, discounted by position | Graded gains can flatter weak models | | Spearman correlation | Agreement across the whole ranking | Treats rank 200 as seriously as rank 2 | Last year's growth also had a Spearman correlation of 0.86 across all 219 stations, while distance from the city came out at minus 0.0429, essentially no relationship. NDCG divides the score of the model's list by the score of the perfect list, so 1 means the order was ideal. ### Younger learners Guess the top five in a class vote, then count how many guesses made the real top five. ### Secondary students Code precision at k and NDCG in Python and test them on the station files. ### Adults Score a search or recommendation feature at work against a random baseline before reporting it. Around Berwick ## One station, twelve schools More detail from the state files. ### Berwick station The only metropolitan station inside the suburb, on the Pakenham line, with 1,008,200 entries in FY24-25. ### Schools The 2025 school locations file places 12 open schools in Berwick: nine government, two Catholic and one independent, including Berwick Primary School and Berwick Secondary College. ### Term 1, 2027 Victorian government school students start on Thursday 28 January 2027; Term 1 ends on Thursday 25 March.

[AI and ML Masterclass](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-complete-college)[Data Science Course](/courses/data-science-complete-masterclass-college)Coding and AI ## If an AI can build the model, why should a Berwick learner learn to score it? Because building a model takes minutes now, and knowing whether it is any good is the part that still takes a person. Ask an assistant for a model to predict station growth and it will give you one, often with an impressive sounding feature like distance from the city. It will rarely volunteer that a random guess scores 0.553 on the same metric, or that last year's numbers beat its idea easily. A learner who has computed precision at 10 by hand and watched a sensible feature lose to chance knows to ask for the baseline every time. That question saves more projects than any new algorithm. The Berwick learner who measures a model against a baseline is the one who can tell real progress from a good story. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Berwick lessons, live online Everything happens on screen, which suits a suburb where most trips mean the car. ### Log in and build At lesson time the learner opens the link, shares a screen and codes with the teacher watching. ### Term calendar Courses follow Victoria's school terms and pause in the state holidays. ### Trial class The free class is a normal lesson; afterwards we recommend a course and a weekly slot. ### Matched groups Fifteen to twenty learners per group, matched on level and pace. ### Steady pace Two fixed lessons a week, about eight each month, with breaks agreed early. ### Teachers in India Our teachers are in India: a 5:30pm Berwick lesson in summer is noon India time, then 1pm after Melbourne's clocks go back. Daylight saving Melbourne's daylight saving began on Sunday 4 October 2026 and ends on Sunday 4 April 2027. India has no daylight saving, so we always confirm times in Melbourne time. Fees ## Berwick class fees Three prices, set out plainly. First class**USD 0** The first lesson is free and finishes with a clear recommendation. Group tuition**USD 100** A month of group lessons, usually eight, with fifteen to twenty learners at the same level. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight lessons a month, one teacher with one learner. Families outside India are billed in US dollars, so Berwick pays the same as other families abroad. Billing starts only after the trial has settled course and time; holidays, absences and changing format are covered on the pricing page.

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the Berwick suburb record 50,298 residents, 13,846 families and 17,981 private dwellings. ### What is precision at 10? The share of a model's top ten that are truly in the top ten. Our strongest station model scored 0.8, meaning eight of its ten picks were right. ### What is NDCG? Normalised discounted cumulative gain: a score from 0 to 1 that rewards putting the most relevant items at the very top of a list. ### What did the Berwick ranking project show? That the simplest model, assuming last year's growth continues, beat two cleverer-sounding ones, and that a metric only means something next to a random baseline. ### At what age can children start AI classes? From six, with Scratch and simple AI activities. Training and testing real models usually starts in the early teens, once Python is familiar. ### Do learners need maths for machine learning? Some helps, and we teach it as needed. Ranking metrics like these need only fractions, sorting and logarithms explained with examples. ### Is there a Berwick centre? No. All teaching is live online, we have no premises in Australia, and the phone number shown is an Indian number. ### What do AI classes cost for Berwick learners? The first lesson is free. Group classes then cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month for one-to-one lessons. Course, format and time are agreed before paying. ### How many are in a group? Fifteen to twenty learners, grouped by level, pace and goals. Private lessons are offered when no group time works. ### Can adults join AI classes? Yes. Adults have their own groups or study privately, often to evaluate AI tools they already use at work.
