Blythwood Public School is committed to creating a positive learning atmosphere in which all students have the opportunity to receive an education through which they may achieve their potential. Our goal is to assist children to assume responsibility for their own behaviour by developing a sense of mutual trust, respect and responsibility. Through the partnership of home, school and the community we can create a safe, caring and responsible learning community for all students.
