Houses
Blackburn High School has four Houses: Dunlop (Red), Melba (Blue), Freeman (Yellow), and Hollows (Green). The House names were inspired by four Australians: Sir Edward Weary Dunlop, Cathy Freeman, Dame Nellie Melba and Fred Hollows. Each House has approximately 250 students from Years 7-12, and within each House students are members of their own Mentor group. The mentor group system is aimed at helping students achieve their maximum academic potential, whilst allowing them to bond with students in other year levels.
