Barkly Highway State School has a well-earned reputation as a quality school as a result of high quality Australian Curriculum teaching and learning activities catering for the all-round development of each and every child. Even though we are a regionally remote school, we are large enough to provide a rich array of learning opportunities for all students.

A distinctive feature is our research based and reflective approach to learning where our school values underpin all aspects of school life. Students enjoy a rich academic program and a diversity of extra-curricular activities including instrumental program, choirs, school camps, participation inter-school sports days and competitions, national competitions, excursions, after school sports programs and leadership opportunities. Our community welcomes you to become involved in school life and encourage partnerships to enhance the education of our children.
