Blackwell is very well resourced with some amazing facilities.
Technology
We have over 200 computers. Four stage areas with 16 computers in each. A very well resourced library that has over 30 computers. Each class has its own computer linked to an Interactive Whiteboard. We have 4 digital presenters or document readers in our classes. We have also access to class sets of Ipads and laptops. Students of all ages love using our computers at lunchtime as well.
Outside Facilities
We have 6 undercovered areas for our students to stay protected from the rain and the sun.
In the Stage 2 area we have a volleyball court and cricket nets as well as a large covered outdoor learning area and an adventure playground. Stage 3 students have a basketball court and the back oval to play on.
School and community monies have been spent to upgrade our basketball court due to be completed by mid Term 2.
Our long awaited Before & After School HUB is near in completion and the Department guarantees that it will be operational Day 1 Term 3, 2024.
We consider ourselves very lucky to have so many great resources.
Our gardens and surrounds are regarded as our pride and joy. We have an active gardening group who spend lunchtimes weeding and checking on our vegetables and fruit trees.
Our school has a large hall which comfortably sits our 600+ students. Our hall has a massive newly installed white screen and projector box to show videos and or presentations.
We currently have 497 students in 23 attractive classrooms. Twenty classrooms are permanent structures and we have 3 demountable buildings to cater for an increase in enrolment numbers. Included in our enrolments are 3 Multi-Cat (MC) Support classes with Mrs Morrison newly appointment Assistant Principal Support.
We consider our learning environment both inside and out to be among the best in the area.
