Bankstown Girls High School is a comprehensive girls high school. We want each girl to be an independent life long-learner who will be able to make a strong contribution to our community through employment and participation as an effective citizen. As a school we value the contribution all groups can make to our society. We have strong emphasis on providing pathways to further education and training through academic and vocational education. Our young women have the opportunity to develop their leadership, sporting and cultural potential through a variety of programs.

All students are expected to:

attend school every day, unless they are legally excused

be in class on time and prepared to learn

maintain a neat appearance and follow the school uniform policy

behave safely, considerately and responsibly including when travelling to and from school
