Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
At Blacktown Boys School, our staff team take pride in providing high quality education for your child so that they become successful citizens within the greater community. The expectations regarding your child’s behaviour and engagement in his learning are high, consequently, there is zero tolerance towards those who want to impede the learning of others. The school strives to achieve the best possible outcomes for your child, but like all relationships, all parties; the school, the parents and the child, must work together to bring about a successful outcome. In a dynamic world where change is constant, expectations at work are high and where competition is cutthroat, your child’s success comes down to the choices, relationships and attitudes he develops at school with the staff , his peers and his work ethic.
At Blacktown Boys High School we:
- Have an emphasis on self-discipline and achievement to achieve one’s personal best.
- Have a broad challenging and innovative curriculum which maximises student choice.
- Have the provision of a selective class in each year for those students who have been successful in the New South Wales Selective High School Placement Test.
- Offer the opportunity of a dedicated Gifted and Talented class as a part of our Everest Program.
- Have a comprehensive student wellbeing program emphasising care and support for each and every student.
- Have a comprehensive discipline policy which develops self-discipline and responsibility.
- Run a “Step Up” program designed to transition boys from Year 6 to successful post-school pathways.
- Have a policy of strict school uniform agreed to by the school community.
- Have a strong sporting tradition with opportunities to participate in a wide variety of recreational and competitive sports.
- Offer Peer Support, Mock Trial, Debating, Let’s Swim and many other extra-curricular programs.
- Ensure students benefit from strong links with Macquarie University, University of Western Sydney, University of Sydney and University of New South Wales and community partnerships.
As Principal, I encourage all our boys to discover their true academic potential, to be involved in sport and to engage in the various cultural activities the school offers. The ‘new direction’ the school has taken focuses on every student being engaged as ‘Directors’ of their own educational journeys; choosing pathways which will lead them towards their goals and aspirations. At Blacktown Boys High School, we have the staff and mind-set to provide the best possible education for your son. The question is whether your son has the motivation and courage to work hard, engage in their learning and achieve their best.
I welcome you and your child to the Blacktown Boys High School community.
