The Black Community School (sometimes abbreviated to BCS) was a school founded in 1973 by land rights activist Eddie Koiki Mabo, and his friend Burnum Burnum, in Townsville, Australia, for the education of local aboriginal and Torres Strait islander children. Established primarily as an alternative to the State education system, the school aimed to provide a program better suited to black children's needs and which would better reflect their culture. Mabo established the school, variously described as one of the first of its kind in Australia, or even the first of its kind in Australia, in order "to give black children an alternative education more suited to their needs", and that his own children could "share the songs and the language" of Mer, his home island in the Torres Strait, off the coast of Queensland. According to the AIATSIS, the school was regarded with "open hostility" within the general Townsville community, including the Queensland Education Department, and came under "enormous attack" from the local Townsville Daily Bulletin newspaper as well as some local politicians. The then-State Minister for Education denounced the motives of the student's parents at the outset of the school in 1973, declaring the school as 'apartheid in reverse' and their attitudes as 'racist'. Despite the initial pushback from the authorities, the school remained operating for a total of twelve years, during which it functioned as a "vital centre for the Torres Strait community in Townsville". The Black Community School eventually closed in 1985, ultimately due to lack of funding and the inability to secure a lease on a permanent site.
