Why choose us?

Bankstown Senior College is a co-educational, non-uniform senior college for students in Years 10 to 12. We are proud to be part of the public education system and welcome students from all cultural backgrounds.

We offer education for students of post-compulsory age, including those who are new to Australia, refugees, or students who have found traditional schooling difficult in the past. We provide both academic and vocational courses for Years 10 to 12. We also provide preparation courses for full-time and part-time students.

The College does not have classes on Fridays. This gives our mostly adult students time to work, attend appointments, or take care of family or personal matters.

The community of Bankstown Senior College shares a vision which is committed to: empowering a diverse range of students to be confident, active, future-focused learners.
