School Production 2018 - 'Grease'

We are pleased to announce our school production for 2018 is ‘Grease’.

Auditions have been held and we so proud to say that we have many talented students here at Hampton Park Secondary College.

The production staff are currently creating the cast list, and it will be finalised shortly. Students can check outside A6 before the Swimming Sports to see the final cast list. Thank you so much to every student for auditioning and putting yourself out there.

In Term 2, there will be some more roles advertised, which are vital to the smooth running of the production. Students can assist with backstage of moving sets, costumes, make up and fundraising.

We are also looking for some crafty parents to assist with sets and costumes. Stay tuned for more information, or contact the College to express your interest.

Instrumental Music

Hampton Park Secondary College offers an exciting and inspiring Instrumental Music Program, which includes a variety of musical instruments to learn, specializing in rock, pop and contemporary music. Learning to play an instrument is a fun activity, which enables students to be creative and ignite a passion for Music. It also requires dedication and exceptional team work and there are many opportunities for students to perform (when they are ready!).

We offer Instrumental Lessons on the following instruments;

- guitar/bass guitar

- keyboard/piano

- saxophone 

- flute

- trumpet

- trombone

- clarinet

- vocals

- drums

Where possible, all students should have their own instrument to practice on at home (brass, woodwind and keyboard instruments can be hired from the school and drummers only need sticks and a practice pad). Please contact us if you would like assistance with instrument purchase or hiring.

Before your child can begin their lessons they must return the permission slip to the office with payment for 2018.  The cost for the year is great value at $120. Payment can be made upfront in full or through a payment plan by using your credit card. Payments are also non-refundable. Lessons will be run in groups of approximately 4 students. Students will be advised of their lesson times early in the year and/or shortly after payment has been received. Please note that our program operates during school hours and students come out of regular classes, alternated each week, to attend instrumental lessons once a week.

Our Instrumental Program operates in the River Gum Performing Arts Centre. This building has created the opportunity for collaboration between teachers and the creation of a common vision for Music Education. We work together in this building sharing learning areas and music equipment. Our staff are highly qualified instrumental teachers each specializing in the tuition of their primary instrument.
