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, CafƩ 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.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Evening of Jazz to celebrate our 50th year! We had a fabulous time, and we hope you did too. And of course, a huge thank you to those who catered and performed for us - we couldn't have done it without you.
We'll be uploading the full album of photos here in the next week or so, so keep a lookout for those! ... See MoreSee Less
Last Thursday, we celebrated R U OK Day with a variety of lawn games, music and a free sausage sizzle. We encouraged students to check in with those around them, and of course we encourage you all to do the same.

A studentās sense of belonging at school is how we gauge school connectedness. When a student feels valued, accepted, and connected to their environment, there are flow-on benefits that support their learning and engagement. Positive connections with peers and the school community can enhance the development of studentsā cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement. Further benefits of school connectedness which can help to prevent bullying include improved academic outcomes, reduced absenteeism, increased trust and respect, and empathy.
The NDA is Australiaās key bullying prevention initiative for schools, encouraging whole-school communities to work together to implement evidence-informed positive and proactive solutions to prevent and address bullying.
We are excited to announce that from this year, the NDA is permanently moving to the third Friday in August. In 2023, this will be Friday 18 August.
In 2022, 68% of Australian schools joined together to say Bullying. No Way! And BPIHS was included in this. The NDA is an opportunity to create a shared understanding of what is bullying, outline your bullying prevention policies and show support to students who may be experiencing bullying.
The NDA theme for 2023 is 'growing connections'. This theme supports research findings that strong school community connections and social skills are protective factors in the prevention of bullying and help enable positive, help-seeking behaviours in students.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, student or member of the broader community, everyone has a role to play in preventing bullying. ... See MoreSee Less
