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.
Last term, Mr Louis' Year 10 Art class took on the immense project of painting a mural at St Agnes School. We are extremely grateful to St Agnes for trusting us to decorate their walls, and we hope that the mural brings the St Agnes community joy for many years to come.
A big thank you must also go to our students, who worked diligently to develop their skills, work together as a team, and persevere through challenges to create the final mural. You should all be incredibly proud of your hard work, dedication, and the outstanding result. ... See MoreSee Less
🌙 **SLEEP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK!**
Is your teenager getting enough sleep?
Sleep plays a vital role in a young person's **mental health, wellbeing, learning, concentration and development**. With busy schedules, screens, social media and late nights, it can be challenging for teenagers to get the quality sleep they need.
😴 When young people sleep well, they are generally more focused, happier and better able to manage their emotions and daily challenges.

📢 Dear Banksia Park International High School Families,
The Australian Government is introducing AusAlert, a new national emergency warning system that will send alerts to compatible mobile devices during emergencies such as bushfires 🔥, severe weather ⛈️ and public health incidents 🏥.
Before the system goes live in October 2026, a nationwide test will be conducted 📅.
📱 On Monday 27 July 2026 at approximately 1:30 pm ACST, students and staff may receive a test alert on compatible devices, including mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches and children's safety watches, while at school.
If a device is switched on, the test alert will:
🔹 Vibrate
🔊 Play a loud siren-like sound for approximately 10 seconds
⚠️ The alert will sound even if a device is on silent, set to a low volume or in Do Not Disturb mode.
📚 To help minimise disruption to learning, students will need to ensure their mobile phones and other compatible personal devices are switched off or set to aeroplane mode from the commencement of lessons at 8:45 am on the day of the test.
👨👩👧👦 Families are encouraged to:
🔹 Visit ausalert.gov.au to learn more about the new system.
🔹 Familiarise themselves and their children with the test alert sound and videos available on the website.
🔹 Discuss the purpose of the test so students know what to expect.
🔹 Remind students of the BPIHS expectation that mobile phones remain switched off during the school day📵.
🙏 Thank you for your support as we prepare for this national test. ... See MoreSee Less
