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.
🌿 Aboriginal Cultural Experience at Adelaide Botanic Gardens
On Wednesday 14 October, Aboriginal students from BPIHS and St Agnes Primary School came together for a cultural excursion to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens
Students participated in a guided Aboriginal Cultural Tour led by Trent Hill, exploring Kaurna culture, the traditional uses of native plants for food, medicine, shelter and tools, and the strong connection between Aboriginal people, Country and culture.
A wonderful opportunity for students from both schools to connect, share experiences and deepen their understanding of Aboriginal culture. 🌿 ... See MoreSee Less
🏐 Nunga Netball Carnival – What an achievement! 🖤💛❤️
Last weekend, some of our Aboriginal learners proudly participated in the two-day Nunga Netball Carnival on Kaurna Country, celebrating culture, connection, community and a shared love of netball.

We are incredibly proud of all our girls for their teamwork, determination, positive attitude and the pride they showed in representing our school. It was fantastic to see our learners come together, build connections and celebrate Aboriginal culture through sport.

⚾ OUR BPIHS YEAR 7–9 BASEBALL TEAM ARE THROUGH TO THE FINALS! 🏆
Congratulations to our Year 7–9 Baseball team!
After soundly defeating Marryatville High School 14–1 in Game 1 at the School Sport SA Baseball Tournament, played at GGCD Dodgers' home ground, our team has secured their third consecutive chance to clinch finals gold in early November! 🎉
Our starting pitchers Jamie and Casey, along with relief pitchers Noah, Ryan and Jiro, all did a great job on the mound and were ably supported by excellent defence in the field. Our catchers Kaia and Noah also did an awesome job behind the dish! ⚾
Although the team lost to Golden Grove High School in the second dead-rubber game, it was a great opportunity for our players to trial different fielding positions and modify the pitching roster. Our team played with enthusiasm and skill, representing BPIHS with pride. 💙
A special thank you to School Sport SA for organising the tournament, GGCD Dodgers for hosting, and our coaches Deon Ferris and Simon Carey, along with student assistant coaches Ricky and Kaeden. 👏
🏆 The finals will be held at West Beach Diamond Sports in Week 4.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE OF OUR OWN!
Banksia Park International High School is incredibly proud to congratulate former student Grant Stevens APM LEM on his appointment as the 37th Governor of South Australia.
Grant graduated from Banksia Park High School in 1980, before embarking on an extraordinary career of service to the South Australian community, including more than a decade as Commissioner of South Australia Police.
To see a former Banksia Park student appointed to such a significant role in our state is a wonderful moment for our school community and a powerful reminder to our current students of where their own pathways may lead.
From Banksia Park High School student to Governor of South Australia – what an achievement!
Congratulations, Grant, from everyone at Banksia Park International High School. We are very proud to call you one of our alumni. 👏💙 ... See MoreSee Less
