International students

Sir Joseph Banks High School is pleased to host a number of international students each year. We provide a safe and caring environment where students are ensured of quality educational programs and presented with culturally rich and rewarding learning opportunities. These students are supported by our EAL/D teacher for students with an English as an Additional Language and/or Dialect, Ghada Majed.

We are proud of our culturally inclusive and harmonious learning environment and our teaching staff who are always ready to assist, support and nurture where and when needed.
