Bankstown South Infants School

Bankstown South Infants School is dedicated to providing a holistic educational experience for its students. Located just 2km from Bankstown CBD, the school offers 8 mainstream classes from Kindergarten to Year 2, alongside a Public Preschool and an Early Intervention program. The staff at Bankstown South Infants School are not only enthusiastic and committed to ensuring that all students achieve excellence in their learning outcomes, but they are also friendly and accessible at all times. The principal is highly visible and supportive of all families, reinforcing a welcoming atmosphere within the school community. In this nurturing and caring environment, a love of learning is fostered while maintaining high expectations for every student to reach their personal best. We enact the values of public education—excellence, integrity, equity, accountability, trust, and service—incorporating them throughout our programs and practices. The school emphasises a smooth transition for students entering Kindergarten and those moving from Year 2 to Year 3, collaborating closely with Padstow North Public School to facilitate this process. With a robust student welfare program, Bankstown South Infants School promotes the positive development of students across physical, academic, and emotional domains. They have strong literacy and numeracy initiatives, particularly focusing on early language development. Additionally, the school offers Community Language programs in Arabic and Vietnamese, as well as comprehensive programs in physical education, technology, and the creative arts. Extracurricular activities abound, including dance groups, choir, robotics, gymnastics, swimming, public speaking, and student leadership opportunities. The active involvement of the community in school events highlights the strong sense of trust and partnership between families and the school staff. Our dedicated Parent and Citizens Committee works closely with the school, supporting various initiatives through donations and active participation in many school-based events. This collaboration enriches the educational experience for all students, ensuring that every student learns, grows, and belongs in our outstanding school.
