**Location Profile**:

- Hampton Park Secondary College is a large multi-cultural learning community situated in southeast Metropolitan Melbourne. We currently have over 1200 students, from over 60 cultural backgrounds. We have approximately 190 staff, comprising of Teaching and Educational Support staff. At Hampton Park Secondary College, we are rich in diversity and, by empowering and engaging students, wholehearted in our pursuit of excellence. Our vision of learning is underpinned by our values of Respect, Learning and Working Together. Through our values, we hope that our students manifest the qualities of understanding the world with a global view, engaging in life-long learning, and always being critical and creative problem solvers. Hampton Park Secondary College is committed to providing education that is both student-centred and focused upon personalised learning experiences. Several years ago, we redesigned our learning program to enable students to excel through a researched based, future focused model of student empowerment.
- In 2022, we made structural changes to our Sub Schools. Following extensive collaboration and consultation with students and staff, our new House System was launched. Students and staff are now aligned with one of our four Houses: Hollows, Freeman, Mabo, and Walton. Each House comprises of students from Years 7-12 and includes staff from a range of positions and teaching areas. Our new House System has already created a stronger sense of connection amongst both staff and students, and we see Houses as being a powerful way to enhance student engagement and sense of belonging.
- At Hampton Park Secondary College, we are deeply committed to improving student learning outcomes and supporting the wellbeing of our students. Building upon our already extensive and intensive interventions that sit within our MTSS Framework, we have bolstered and extended these supports through refining our Literacy and Numeracy programs. As always, the programs for our at-risk students are mirrored by the opportunities offered to our High Ability students.
- In 2023, we achieved the best senior school results the College has seen since its establishment over 40 years ago. We achieved a median Study score of 29, which was maintained in 2024. In 2025 we achieved the strongest NAPLAN results the College has received across both Year 7 and 9. In 8 out of 10 categories we were ahead of similar schools across the state.
