At Black Hill Primary School we aim to provide an engaging environment where all children can gain the knowledge, values and skills necessary to achieve their personal best in an increasingly complex world and are committed to continuous improvement and achieving excellence in teaching and learning. Staff and students display a strong sense of empathy, co-operation and loyalty. The school is well known for its highly valued Arts program (incorporating the Visual and Performing Arts), sporting achievements and 'Thinking Skills' curriculum. A bi-annual concert alternates with an 'Arts Week' and we have extensive specialist learning facilities and playgrounds that promote physical activity. We strive to create a strong feeling of community within the school and a climate where children and parents see the school as a safe, welcoming and enjoyable place. School Council is very active in fundraising and social activities and parents freely support classroom and the Arts/sport programs in their own time. In 2010 the staffing at Black Hill Primary School consisted of 1 Principal, 1 Assistant Principal, 1 Leading Teacher, 26.6 equivalent full time teachers, 7 Education Support staff and 1 Instructor. 10 children were in the 'Program for Students with a Disability', 8 were from a Koorie background and 4 were from a non-English speaking background. The school is the Licensee of the Black Hill Kindergarten and has an Outside School Hours Care facility. The school was included in the 'Building the Education Revolution' Round 2 building program due for completion in Term 1, 2011.
