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.

🖤💛❤️ National Reconciliation Week at BPIHS – Bridging Now to Next ❤️💛🖤
Week 5 was a jam-packed and meaningful week at Banksia Park International High School as we celebrated National Reconciliation Week.
We kicked off the week with some of our First Nations learners attending the annual Nunga Tag Tournament at Avenues College 🏉. This event is always a highlight on our calendar, offering a great opportunity for connection, teamwork, and pride in culture.
On Tuesday, we held a whole school assembly to mark National Reconciliation Week. We were honoured to host special guest Anthony Wilson from Kuma Kaaru, who shared powerful stories about his Kaurna culture. Staff and students were especially fascinated to learn about the Kaurna kinship structure and its deep cultural significance.
In partnership with St Agnes School, a group of our learners also visited the Reconciliation River Walk at Karra Wirra Parri / River Torrens in Athelstone 🌿. This was a beautiful and reflective experience, made even more special by the flowing waterways after recent rain. Students explored Kaurna Country and gained a deeper understanding of local culture through interactive installations developed with Kaurna Elders.
On Thursday, we celebrated our traditional Wear It Yellow Day 💛 and BBQ Fundraiser, raising over $300 for Children’s Ground—a First Nations-led charity that supports community-led programs in education, health, and employment.
Throughout Term 2, students will continue engaging in a range of activities, games, and challenges during Student Life lessons that explore First Nations cultures and the journey of reconciliation.
This year’s theme, “Bridging Now to Next”, reminds us of the importance of building reconciliation in our everyday lives. We are proud to stand in solidarity and show ongoing respect for First Nations peoples, cultures, and histories 🖤💛❤️. ... See MoreSee Less

🍳 Emmi (Yr 11) and Jacob (Yr 12) represented Banksia Park International High School yesterday at the Secondary Schools Culinary Competition! 👩🍳👨🍳
This competition, held in the commercial kitchens at Regency TAFE, gives students an insight into the hospitality industry and encourages those who demonstrate a talent and passion for cooking. 🔪🥗
Teams were given 1 hour to debone a chicken using correct butchery procedures and make 2 main course dishes within the allocated time. They were marked on their mis en place, hygiene and safety, technical skills, professional preparation, service, presentation, taste of the dish, and collaboration as a team. ✅🍽️
Emmi and Jacob created a stunning dish:
🍗 Japanese karaage chicken, seasoned with pepper berry, served with a toasted macadamia and lemon myrtle onigiri, alongside an Asian salad and a lemon myrtle aioli. 🌿🍚🥗
🏅 They received a silver medal for their efforts and placed second in the competition! 🎉🥈
👏 A huge thank you to their teacher, Ms Inoue, who mentored and supported the students throughout their preparation and on the day. 🍴🌟
A fantastic achievement – well done Emmi, Jacob, and Ms Inoue! 👏🎉 ... See MoreSee Less
