What We Offer

Teachers assist students to access remote learning from their census (home) school, or plan learning activities and experiences for the students. Learning is based on stage/age appropriateness, the students' interests, any areas that need consolidation, and parental input. Learning during the morning sessions focus on literacy and numeracy skills, and the afternoon session focuses on science, technology, creative arts and wellbeing activities.

Students may attend the hospital school room for their lessons. If this is not possible due to illness or injury, school staff will teach students at their bedside.  The school has a holistic approach to educating each student and provides Individualised Learning Plans (ILP's) based on syllabus outcomes in all key learning areas.  Learning programs are modified to suit the individual student within the constraints of the illness or injury.

Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Bankstown Hospital School, where we provide explicit and engaging learning for students from Kindergarten through to Year 12 within the paediatric ward. We strive to ensure every child’s education continues seamlessly, despite health challenges, by offering lessons that meet individual needs in a supportive and flexible environment. We work closely with NSW Health and families to create engaging learning experiences that foster academic growth, social connection, and emotional well-being during hospital stays. Together, we strive to inspire hope, resilience, and a love of learning in every child we teach.

At Bankstown Hospital School, we strive to engage, empower and embrace every student with the confidence and skills to thrive both in hospital and beyond.
