Education
The school was established in 1959. There are 118 students in year 10. The school, with an enrolment of 636 students, is situated 10 kilometres from the centre of Sydney with easy access by train or bus. Smart boards are used in certain classrooms to complement the education.
Houses
Students are allocated to a house when they enter BGHS according to their surnames. There are four houses which students compete under for the Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals:
Freeman (red) Sauvage (blue) Jackson (green) O'Neil (yellow)
Over the years, Freeman and O'Neill have had a fierce rivalry, with each house winning by the nearest of margins and points, in athletics and swimming carnivals. The house names were formed in 2001 by the SRC.
Extracurricular activity
The BGHS has a Student Representative Council, as well as prefects, and a newsletter called the Buzz.
Students have the option to participate in athletics, sporting teams, debating, public speaking, student ambassdor programs, math competitions, science competitions, anime club, dance and choir. Since 2010, Bankstown Girls High School has held a school event called Dance Revolution where the students perform numerous dance numbers. It occurred in 2010, 2011 and will be occurring in 2013.
