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.
🎉🏆 So proud of our students Olivia and Katie for their amazing performance at the Secondary Schools Culinary Competition at Regency TAFE yesterday! Their dedication in multiple practice sessions truly paid off. 👩🍳👩🍳
They had just an hour to debone a chicken and create two servings of a dish with specific starch, vegetable content, and two precision cuts. Their winning dish was a delicious chicken, goat cheese, and chive raviolo, served with blanched asparagus spears, asparagus purée, chicken jus, crispy chicken skin, and garnished with rocket. 😋🍽️
Olivia and Katie earned a gold medal and were the overall winners of the competition! 🥇🎉 They will now represent South Australia in the National competition later this year. 🌟 A big thank you to Ms. Inoue for being a fantastic mentor and guiding them to this successful day! 🙌👏

The Year 11 Café Skills students showcased their talents by hosting a pop-up café in the Kumangka foyer last Thursday. Their café, Kudlila (meaning Winter in the Kaurna language), was a delightful hit, serving up hot chocolates ☕, milkshakes 🥤, scones with jam and cream 🍰, and pizza scrolls 🍕. It was a fantastic opportunity for all staff and Year 10, 11, and 12 students to enjoy a cozy and delicious break. Kudos to our students for creating such a warm and inviting experience! 🌟😊🍫🧁👏 #BPIHS #cafeskills ... See MoreSee Less

🎉🎭 On Wednesday, our Year 12s turned the school into a costume carnival to celebrate the end of Semester 1! We had The Wiggles jamming, The Chipmunks chattering, Gru and his Minion crew plotting, superheroes saving the day, and even Juno made an appearance along with many more fabulous characters! 🌟🙌
But wait, it gets better! Some of our Year 12 mentors got into the spirit and dressed up as the students. Talk about role reversal! 😆👗👕
It was a morning full of laughter, creativity, and memorable moments. Here's to our fabulous Year 12s! Keep the fun going!#schoolspiritp#BPIHSBPIHS ... See MoreSee Less

🍽️ This was a lunchtime market for students to put a real-world context to their HASS learning.
