About the school

Blacktown North Public School is situated to the north of the Blacktown Central Business District, adjacent to Blacktown Boys High School and Blacktown Girls High School. The school boasts well-maintained buildings that include large, carpeted classrooms and an assembly hall, all operating in air-conditioned comfort. The expansive grounds feature playing fields, an environmental area, a basketball court, and a games area, creating an inviting environment for students and families.

Unique in its demographic, over 96% of students hail from countries other than Australia, while new arrivals account for 15%-20% of enrolments. The school serves a substantial population of English as a Second Language (ESL) learners and students with refugee backgrounds. Blacktown North Public School prioritises creating a positive and safe atmosphere where all families feel welcomed, recognising parental involvement as crucial to student success.

The core values embraced by the school include tolerance, respect, honesty, compassion, fairness, and dignity. These values underpin a strong behaviour management policy that fosters a culture of acceptance and recognition for exemplary student behaviour.

Educational programmes at Blacktown North aim to enhance student learning, with notable initiatives including Literacy on Track, Accelerated Literacy, and the Literacy and Numeracy Leaders Program. Student performance data indicates that the school excels in promoting academic growth, particularly in Literacy, Writing, and Numeracy, where students consistently outperform the NSW state average. Extracurricular activities such as Multi-Cultural Day and Science Enrichment Days offer further opportunities for personal development and social interaction, shaping students into successful lifelong learners.
