Our extra-curricular highlights
Debating and public speaking
Students can develop their thinking, communication and teamwork skills through debating and public speaking. They also have the chance to compete in local and state events.
Bankstown Girls High School is celebrating an outstanding achievement in the Premier’s Debating Challenge, with both our Year 7 & 8 and Year 9 & 10 teams delivering the strongest results in our school’s recent history. Both teams remain undefeated, having triumphed in more than ten debates against schools across NSW — an incredible feat that has seen them named Zone Champions after the first three rounds. They are now competing in the highly competitive knockout stages, with their eyes set firmly on a place in the State Final.
Creative and performing arts
Our drama, music and art programs help students be creative and express themselves. They can join in concerts, art shows and drama activities.
As part of the 2025 HSC, Angelina Nguyen had her artwork selected for the prestigious ARTEXPRESS showcase. This is an incredible achievement for both Angelina and her teacher Ms Vassiliou.
Trips and excursions
Robotics Trip to Japan
The Universal Robotics Challenge 2025 in Osaka, Japan brought together young innovators from around the world for an inspiring and spirited competition. This year, our students took part in the Advanced Division; that required competitors to design and build a robot using Artec’s patented blocks and mechanical components, then program it to collect and stack packages onto a central platform from multiple zones of the game mat.
Throughout the event, our students demonstrated exceptional resilience and teamwork. Unexpected challenges, including the need to rebuild parts of the robot on the day of competition were completed with calm determination and a strong sense of responsibility. Their perseverance through a demanding schedule highlighted not only their technical competence but also their commitment to achieving their goals.
Our team’s efforts were rewarded, achieving a solid mid-field ranking against international competitors.
