Student leadership is an important part of our school. An active Student Representative Council comprising of students from Year 2 to Year 6 meet regularly to plan a number of student-based activities.

These students play an important role in fostering our school’s core values. We also elect two senior Aboriginal students to act as STePS AECG (Aboriginal Education Consultative Group) representatives.
Blackwell Public School enjoys strong support from the surrounding community. Our P&C is actively involved in a range of school-based activities. The P&C organises a variety of fundraising / social events in order to encourage a strong sense of community. They represent the parent / community providing input into different aspects of the school. Many parents and community members donate their time to assist us in the classroom.
