About this school, from public sources
Public sources describe Blakebrook Public School as a small rural K-6 public school around 10km north-west of Lismore, serving families from Blakebrook, Nimbin, Jiggi, Koonorigan, Keerrong and Rock Valley. After flood damage in 2022, the school was fast-tracked for reconstruction and reopened in a new, flood-resilient elevated building with classrooms, a library, canteen and administration space. The school emphasises personalised learning, a strong sporting tradition, environmental stewardship, and close family and community partnership.
