Who We Are:

Blackwater State School

Blackwater State School (Prep-Year 6) offers a warm, caring learning environment with a focus on respect, responsibility, effort, and safety.

The school delivers a rich curriculum across literacy, numeracy, science, humanities, and the arts, tailored to engage students through differentiated teaching and open, well-maintained outdoor learning spaces.

With small-class settings in air-conditioned rooms and a strong emphasis on student wellbeing and positive behaviour, the school builds confidence, resilience, and a sense of community.

Blackwater North State School

Situated in the coal-mining town of Blackwater, Blackwater North State School serves students from Early Childhood through Year 6, emphasising inclusive education with a dedicated Special Needs Program.

The school provides specialist teaching in PE, music, arts, and Japanese, alongside differentiated learning and intervention programs tailored to student needs. Its modern, accessible facilities include air-conditioned classrooms, computer labs, a multi-purpose court, and a hall, fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment.

Step Into Your Next Chapter:

  • Implement structured and long-term collaboration with a diverse range of external partners to drive positive outcomes for families and children to engage successfully with learning and strengthen relationships with parents and carers to facilitate improvement in student attendance, behaviour and engagement in learning.
