Principal's message
“ Welcome to Blackville Public School, where our motto, STRIVE TO ACHIEVE, reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment. As a small but mighty rural school, we take pride in nurturing every student’s unique strengths and encouraging them to reach their full potential.
At Blackville Public School, we value respect, resilience and a love of learning. Our students consistently demonstrate a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, both in the classroom and in our wider community. We celebrate achievements in academics, sport and personal growth, which are a testament to the dedication of our passionate staff and enthusiastic students.
We believe that education is a partnership between school and home and we warmly invite families to be active participants in their child’s learning journey. Together, we can inspire confidence, curiosity and a lifelong passion for learning.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family into our vibrant school community, where every student is empowered to strive and succeed.”
