What I enjoyed most at Banksia Park International High School was the excursion camp with the Outdoor Education class. I had the opportunity to try new experiences and at the same time create better relationship with my friend. However, it was a really good way to explore new places and activities in Australia. I was surprised about the variety of subjects at the school, which allows the students to specialise in the subjects they prefer. And participating in Clubs, which helped to create new friendships.
Teachers were very helpful, really understanding and available to answer all my questions.
What I enjoyed most at Banksia Park International High School was the variety of practical lessons which I have never learned in Japan: Photography, Café Skills, Design, Society & Culture. In my home country, I can learn just academic things.
Teachers were very caring and helpful. Although Japanese names can be difficult to pronounce for most, everyone tried to utter correctly and memorised my name and face.

🍴 Mastered the art of making Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki – our new favourite Japanese dish!
🚄 Himeji Adventures
🎉 Warmly welcomed by our sister school, Shikama High, with a ceremony and a fun Year 12 English class.
🏯 Took in the beauty of the UNESCO-listed Himeji Castle and explored Mount Shosha, where The Last Samurai was filmed.
