Our school values of Respect, Pursuit of Excellence and Citizenship together with our motto Ad Lucem Crescimus are central to our culture of high expectations for all. We are an inclusive learning community where quality relationships are nurtured. Our students are actively encouraged to be leaders and participate in decision making to shape the future of our School. Our Student Leadership Program ensures that a range of diverse voices are heard and considered.

 

The holistic development of each student is achieved through a joint focus on their involvement in both a rich academic and extensive co-curricular program. Blackburn High School’s Learning Norms form the foundation of the high expectations and aspirations we have for all students. The Learning Norms promote preparation, foster resilience and endeavour to impart a passion for lifelong learning.

Our dedicated and talented teachers at Blackburn High School have a shared belief that all students can learn and succeed. They take collective responsibility for improving instructional practices to achieve gains in learning for all of their students. They are reflective and committed to an ongoing process that promotes deep learning.

 

At Blackburn High School, the parent community is valued, and we continue to encourage their contribution by forging strong links and an active partnership that supports the learning and development of our students.
