Our Vision & Values

At Hampton Park Primary, we believe that education is the foundation for a bright future. Our vision is to empower lifelong learners who contribute to and thrive in an inclusive and connected community.

Guided by our values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience, we instil in students the skills and mindset needed to succeed in school and beyond. These values are embedded in our teaching, learning, and interactions every day.

Our Approach to Learning

We are committed to evidence-based teaching practices that cater to diverse learning needs. Our English program is informed by the body of research known as the Science of Reading, ensuring that all students develop strong literacy skills through a structured, systematic approach. We prioritise whole-class explicit teaching, with a focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Our structured English and Mathematics models ensure all students build strong foundational skills, while our specialist programs in Science, Digital Technologies, Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education, and Mandarin provide rich and engaging learning opportunities.

Beyond the classroom, our students participate in: 

• Intervention and enrichment programs that support individual growth.
• A range of lunchtime clubs, leadership opportunities, and community initiatives.

A School Where Wellbeing Matters

Student wellbeing is central to everything we do. We have:

• A dedicated Wellbeing Hub, school psychologist and speech pathologist, and social-emotional learning programs to support students holistically.
• Lunchtime clubs, Breakfast Club, and structured play programs to foster connection and engagement.
• A strong focus on community partnerships, including our Community Hub, which offers playgroups, adult learning programs, and family support services.

Our Team & Professional Learning Culture

Our staff are collaborative, reflective, and driven by a shared commitment to excellence. We foster a professional learning cycle of Learn, Plan, Commit, and Reflect, ensuring continuous growth and improvement.

We are looking for educators who:

• Are committed to evidence-based teaching and learning.
• Value teamwork, shared leadership, and a strong sense of community.
• Are passionate about making a real difference in the lives of students.
