girls. Here at Blacktown Girls we emphasise a broad-based
curriculum where our students have the opportunity to excel in
which ever field of endeavour they feel themselves capable.
Here at Blacktown
Girls High we specialize in Girls' Education. We
understand how girls learn best. How girls develop both
emotionally and physically. All our teaching strategies, subject
content, organisation of the School day, length of lessons and
programs offered are designed around GIRLS!
We believe that comprehensive
education offers the best foundation that students can have to
prepare for their future in an environment of continuing and
increasing change. Blacktown Girls provides the ideal
environment for our girls to develop a life-long love of learning. We are proud to be a
comprehensive girls high school and feature this as one of our
