Blackwater State High School is a school engaged in creating brilliant futures.

At Blackwater High dedication to academic excellence and vocational achievement goes hand in hand with individual care for each student.

Our school motto is KNOW THYSELF.

As students progress through the six years of secondary education, we will strive to have each one of them achieve the ideal of this motto. They will be progressively expected to assume more responsibility for their own achievement and to learn to be more self-reliant in reaching set goals.

We hope that close co-operation among parents, teachers, community and students will provide an educational climate conducive to each student achieving his or her full potential.
