Sir Joseph Banks High School
Sir Joseph Banks High School is a comprehensive co-educational school established in 1960. We proudly serve the diverse, multicultural communities around Revesby and Bankstown. We focus on learning and the school provides quality education through a diverse curriculum for both mainstream and support class students. Our strong student management and welfare systems promote a safe and peaceful environment. Students are encouraged to respect each other as they work co-operatively to meet the school's high expectations. We challenge students to achieve personal success. We expect students to gain knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to contribute positively to our society. Over the past three years this school has implemented significant changes. Teachers, administration and support staff have worked closely with students, parents and caregivers. Our success and continuing commitment to improvement is reflected in many areas including improved academic results, increased vocational opportunities, greater community involvement, greater participation in performing arts, increased Year 7 enrolments, and our enhanced reputation in the community.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
