At Hampton Park Primary School, we place great importance on students developing high-level literacy and numeracy skills. To support this, we have developed specific programs for students across all year levels, which enables them to experiment, discover, manipulate and explore concepts in a practical manner. We acknowledge that explicit teaching and hands on activities are both vitally important for developing the academic skills of all students.

Students have individual learning goals and are challenged academically. The school places a significant emphasis on collaboration of teachers to plan at the point of need. Professional Learning Communities, regular year level team meetings and curriculum groups provide teachers with a range of opportunities to discuss, analyse and respond to student data in order to maximise learning outcomes.

Hampton Park Primary School, in 2018, opened a new $5.7 million rebuild, which includes several new classrooms and innovative STEM learning spaces. The introduction of a STEM based curriculum will ensure that all students are equipped with the innovative skills and knowledge that will allow them to solve real world problems using the increasingly important and internationally recognised STEM competencies of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The well-resourced specialist programs of Science, Digital Technologies, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Mandarin and Physical Education are provided for all students each week and these specialist teachers provide a range of opportunities for students to use their new skills in different contexts.

In addition to a strong commitment to academic excellence, Hampton Park is an accredited Kids Matter school and we are now committed to the BE YOU Initiative to support our students¿ social and emotional wellbeing in order to build resilience and maintain positive mental health.

To this end, we organise family events each term that are extremely popular and well attended.

The school regularly achieves success in Interschool Sport, winning championships in a range of sports. Students are encouraged to try out for individual and team sports and those who participate, learn that success comes not only from winning but also from doing your very best.

At Hampton Park Primary, we are committed to maintaining an orderly learning environment where students persist in all things and develop a creative approach to learning in their search for excellence. The learning environment is one where students learn to be flexible, reflective and open-minded so they will develop into capable young people with the ability to monitor their own learning and effectively manage challenges as they arise.

In partnership with Community Hubs Australia and AMES, the school operates an onsite Community Hub.
