Blackbutt State School is a rural school located at the southern entrance to the South Burnett Region, with a long, proud history of excellence in education. We are committed to providing a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where every child is valued and encouraged to achieve their best.
Our students are supported by a highly skilled and dedicated team of teachers, support staff, and community members who work collaboratively to nurture academic success and personal growth. Blackbutt State School offers a multi‑age, co‑educational learning program for students from Prep to Year 6, delivered through the Australian Curriculum. Our curriculum includes Japanese language studies, early intervention programs, and targeted learning and inclusion support.
Teaching and learning at Blackbutt State School are balanced and innovative, while maintaining a strong focus on the essential foundations of English and Mathematics. We place a high priority on student wellbeing and operate within a whole‑school Positive Behaviour Support framework. Through Real Schools and other embedded positive and restorative behaviour programs, we promote respectful relationships, resilience, and positive social skills.
We are an active and valued part of the local community, with strong connections that enrich learning experiences for our students. Pastoral care is supported through our school chaplain ensuring students' social and emotional needs are addressed.
At Blackbutt State School, we recognise and value the vital role parents and carers play in their child's education. We promote strong partnerships with families through an open‑door policy, where clear, respectful communication is at the heart of everything we do.
