What I enjoyed most at Banksia Park International High School were the music lessons. In Japan we don’t have music ensemble. It was new for me to play music with students in the music class.
I also enjoyed the excursion to the city with other international students.
All experiences with homestay and school will be memorable to me. Everything in Australia was new for me. I love this country and this school.

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.

We’ve loved celebrating Harmony Week with you all, leading up to Harmony Day on March 21 🧡
Held each year on 21 March, Harmony Day coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It’s a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity and show cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home, because everyone belongs.
While we celebrate, it’s also an important reminder to stand against racism wherever and whenever it appears.
Even though we’re not at school on the day, the message continues—let’s keep celebrating, respecting and learning from one another every day.

Australia’s story is one of welcome, resilience, and new beginnings 🧡
Over the past 70 years, more than 7.5 million migrants have chosen to call Australia home, each bringing their own culture, traditions, and dreams. Together, these stories have helped shape the vibrant, diverse community we’re proud to be part of today.
This Harmony Week, we celebrate the journeys that connect us and the shared future we’re building—side by side.

This Harmony Week, we celebrate the rich tapestry that makes us who we are 🌏
Did you know Australians identify with around 300 different ancestries? That’s hundreds of stories, cultures, traditions, and perspectives, woven together to create something truly special.
Let’s take a moment to recognise the diversity around us, learn from one another, and continue building a community where everyone belongs.
Because harmony isn’t just about difference, it’s about connection 💛

Since 1945, more than 7.5 million people have chosen Australia as their home. 🌏🧡
Every story, culture and journey has helped shape the vibrant, diverse community we celebrate today. Harmony Day is a reminder that our differences make us stronger and that everyone belongs.
Let’s celebrate respect, inclusion and the many cultures that make Australia what it is. 🧡

Harmony Week reminds us just how beautifully diverse Australia really is. Nearly half of all Australians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was. 🌏
Every culture, language, and story helps shape the vibrant community we share today. This week, we celebrate the richness that comes from our differences and the strength we build when everyone belongs. 🧡
