Blackwood High School is incredibly proud to celebrate an outstanding achievement within our community
A huge congratulations to Sam Thomson, who has been awarded a King’s Birthday OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia) for his remarkable service to youth through pastoral care.
This honour recognises the lasting impact Sam has made in the lives of so many young people — offering guidance, support, and genuine care when it has mattered most. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to nurturing the wellbeing and growth of others is truly inspiring.
At Blackwood High School, we are fortunate to have role models like Sam who embody the values of kindness, leadership, and service to community. This recognition is not only well deserved, but a reflection of the positive difference one person can make.
Please join us in celebrating this incredible achievement — we are so proud!
