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.
🥊 Congratulations to Samuel — #2 in Australia! 🥈
Three fights in three days, and he left everything in the ring. #bpihsproud

Last week, our Pirku Team and some of our Year 8 Aboriginal Learners proudly represented BPIHS at the STEM Aboriginal Learner Congress held on Kaurna Yarta at Adelaide Oval.
The theme for this year’s Congress, “Bridging worlds: Identity, innovation, leadership,” celebrates Aboriginal learners as strong voices and leaders who connect culture with future STEM pathways.
Over the two days, our students:
🔸Took part in inspiring keynotes by young Aboriginal STEM leaders
🔸Explored cultural knowledge through science, technology, engineering & maths
🔸Attended hands-on workshops, including Stellar Stewards: How to Honour First Nations Sky Rights and We Don’t Need a Map: Navigating Country
🔸Connected with Elders, mentors, and role models in STEM industries
They also got to experience an incredible Hip Hop performance by DEM MOB- the first group to rap in the Pitjantjatjara language
This was an incredible opportunity for our students to strengthen their cultural identity, grow as innovators, and see how Aboriginal knowledge continues to shape the future of STEM.
We are so proud of our learners for embracing this experience, stepping beyond their comfort zones, and we look forward to seeing where their STEM journeys will take them! ... See MoreSee Less
