Blackheath & Thornburgh<br />
College<br />
Celebrating 100 Years in 2019<br />
LOCATED in the heart of Charters Towers,<br />
North <strong>Queensland</strong> with historic Thornburgh<br />
House sitting pride of place on the campus,<br />
Blackheath and Thornburgh College (BTC) is a<br />
co-educational school that provides quality<br />
education from Prep-Prep to Year 12. BTC<br />
provides an environment that is nurturing,<br />
challenging, technologically rich, offers a<br />
diverse curriculum and co-curricular program<br />
and supports the individual needs of boarding<br />
and day students. The college’s aim is to<br />
enable all students to become resilient, caring<br />
and responsible global citizens. At BTC we<br />
continue to build on the proud traditions of the<br />
past while acknowledging the ever-changing<br />
landscape in regional and rural Australia.<br />
At the start of 2019, BTC completed the<br />
upgrade of the Science block. We now have a<br />
state of the art facility fitted with promethium<br />
screens and modern scientific equipment. The<br />
facility will support our motivation to extend our<br />
focus on STEM (Science, technology,<br />
engineering, and mathematics).<br />
choose from. A proud moment for us was the<br />
celebration of our centenary in 2019. As a<br />
College, we hosted many wonderful events<br />
which were enjoyed by current and past<br />
students, current and past staff and the local<br />
community. The support received during the<br />
Centenary year is a testament to the longevity<br />
and accomplishments of the school, its staff<br />
and alumni.<br />
In the same way our benefactors contribute and<br />
invest in our College’s future, we expect our<br />
students to contribute and invest in their own<br />
educational journeys. There is an expectation<br />
that students will contribute to the co-curricular<br />
life of the College. The more a student puts in,<br />
the more they get out of their time at BTC. We<br />
want our students to experience fulfillment and<br />
gratitude towards hard work.<br />
At BTC we provide a home away from home<br />
for our boarders. Life at BTC is rich with social<br />
activities, career opportunities and a<br />
family-inspired learning culture where respect<br />
and courteousness are fundamentally what we<br />
teach and expect every day. Our students are<br />
enriched with many co-curricular programs to<br />
Inspired learning<br />
Respect and inclusivity<br />
