Blacktown Youth College - Lawson Campus

Blue Mounatins Youth College, a satellite of Blacktown Youth College in Hebersham, is an independent, government funded school meeting the educational and social needs of adolescents excluded from, or not coping with, mainstream schooling.

It is the aim of the College to offer each student the opportunity for shared learning in a positive and constructive environment. We want our students to be happy and to feel good about themselves. When this happens, young people become receptive to learning, both formal and informal.

A no-exams approach to learning is essential here. We value the unique participation of each person within the school community. We recognise the need to foster and enhance their individual talents, as well as encourage them to strive for and celebrate an increased measure of academic success.

It is hoped that each student, at the completion of their studies for the RoSA (Record of School Achievement) at Blue Mountains Youth College, will experience the satisfaction that comes from their success to date as well as from the recognition of their potential for continued personal development.
