What I enjoyed most at Banksia Park International High School were the music lessons. In Japan we donβt 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, CafΓ© 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.

Were you able to show your support for change through the City of Tea Tree Gullyβs Big White Ribbon #cttgbigwhiteribbon?
BPIHS is committed to creating a safe community that stands together to say no to all forms of domestic and family violence, and fosters a culture of respectful relationships. Last week, the Tea Tree Gully Council hosted inspiring speakers from White Ribbon Australia and Zahra Foundation before inviting members of the community to create a 20 metre white ribbon in Civic Park to raise awareness about domestic and family violence. It was a timely event, drawing our attention to the prevalence of family and domestic violence in all communities, including our own. By using primary prevention strategies like education, we can help break the cycle of domestic and family violence and strive for a community where all women and children are safe.
Check out www.whiteribbon.org.au/helplines/ for support services and bpihs.sa.schooltv.me/newsletter/respectful-relationships to support conversations with your young people about respectful relationships.
If you would like to talk to a member of the BPIHS wellbeing team, then please contact Nicole Pamula.With a thunderstorm on the way, we're wrapping up our #CTTGBigWhiteRibbon project this afternoon.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped us made a big artistic statement against domestic and family violence. We loved connecting with you, hearing your stories and seeing you make a stand π

π Wednesday was a bittersweet day as we bid farewell to our incredible Year 12 students. π
In a heartwarming assembly hosted by our Year 11 students, we celebrated the achievements and memories of these outstanding individuals. From the first day they walked through our doors to this moment, we have watched them grow, learn, and become leaders. π
As they embark on new journeys, we want to express our gratitude for their hard work, dedication, and the unique contributions each one has made to our school community. π
To our Year 12 students, your future is bright, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things you will achieve. Remember, once a part of our school family, always a part of our school family. π€
Thanks must go to our talented Year 11s who treated the Year 12's to a scrumptious morning tea for their final farewell.
