Location ProfileHampton 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 re-designed our learning programme to enable students to excel through a researched based, future focused model of student empowerment.
Learning at Hampton Park Secondary College is categorised into three stages or programmes: Explore (Year 7), Enhance (Year 8 and 9), and Excel (Year 10, 11 and 12). These programmes recognise the unique needs of each student and allow students to `move through¿ their secondary schooling experience in a way that better reflects their passions and abilities rather than their normal `year level¿. 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 RTI Framework, we have bolstered and extended these supports through refining our MYLNS programme, and our Tutor Learning Initiative. As always, the programmes for our at-risk students are mirrored by the opportunities offered to our High Ability students, including Extension Maths through TLI and an Extension and Enrichment Writing Programme.
