Blackwood High School is focused on inspiring achievement and respect. We deliver 21st century learning by connecting our students with the global community. All students are supported and have their own laptop for classroom learning. This learning is supported by school-wide wireless access and the school portal. As an IB World school, Year 8 to10 students study the IBMYP. Students can apply for our Specialist Netball and Football Programs. The Performing and Visual Arts and Sports programs support extra-curricular activities that help to engage students in their academic program. Most Year 12 students achieve outstanding results. Most of our students follow a university pathway with science-based options a focus. Students on a vocational pathway include those who undertake a school-based apprenticeship. Studies in electro-technology are offered in the school's Trade Training Centre. We believe that young people learn best when they feel valued, listened to, challenged and, most importantly when they feel cared for and safe. We value self-reflection as a tool for personal growth.
