"Best Primary School in Nelson!"

We absolutely love Blacko Primary School! The staff are friendly and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. My child has thrived in the nursery class and can't wait to move up to Year 3.

"Mixed Feelings About Blacko"

We had a mixed experience with Blacko Primary School when our child attended. The teachers were generally great, but we felt the school could have done more to support children with special needs. Overall, it was an okay school and we're glad we moved on.
