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.
On Monday, November 25th, our school community will join thousands across Australia in observing White Ribbon Day, a significant initiative aimed at preventing violence against women and children. In line with the school values of Respect and Unity, we have planned the following activities to foster a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected:
✨Wear a 'splash of white' on Monday, November 25th - whether it's a ribbon, hat, socks, scarf, shoe laces, etc.
✨Join our fun lunchtime 'Macarenarama' where we aim to get as many students and staff to stand together and 'Lead the Change'. Let's beat our record from last year! All dancers will receive a Zooper Dooper in appreciation of their efforts.
Let's make this day meaningful and memorable as we unite against domestic violence. Remember: "respect starts with you" and by standing together, we can make a difference in creating a safer future for all.
For support or more information about domestic violence, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732)
