Black Hill Primary School has over 500 students and 50 staff, services a growing residential area in the north of Ballarat, and is the licensee of the Black Hill Kindergarten.  The school's enrolments, student backgrounds and staffing have been stable for five years.

We aim to provide an engaging environment where all children gain the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to achieve their personal best in an increasingly complex world.

We are well known for our comprehensive Arts programs, sporting achievements, use of technology and 'Thinking Skills' curriculum and our staff regularly provides training to other schools.

Our students are responsive, appreciative and display a strong sense of empathy, co-operation, and loyalty. We strive to create a feeling of community and belonging within the school and a climate where children and parents see school as a safe, welcoming and enjoyable place.

School Council is very active and parents freely support classroom, arts and sports programs. A biannual concert alternates with an 'Arts Week' and we have extensive, high quality specialist learning facilities.  

The school has been included in the 'Building the Education Revolution' Round 2 building program which will see seven new classrooms and a shared open learning space occupied and operational by mid 2011. In addition, our new 5 / 6 Centre opened in 2009, provides a fantastic learning space for all of our Year 5 and 6 students offering a shared learning space in the middle of the six classrooms and a full sized kitchen, where 5 /6 weekly breakfasts and cooking sessions are held.
