Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
It has been a busy but great term at Hampton Park Secondary College this term! A big thank you to all our students who have consistently shown our college values of respect, learning and working together.
Some of the many highlights include:
- Our Year 9 students had the fantastic opportunity to visit Swinburne University, exploring a range of career options and getting a taste of future pathways.
- Our Year 7s have been diving into their swimming program, developing skills and building confidence in the water.
- Celebration events such as a lunch for our top performing VCE students and an escape room for our high achieving junior students - well-earned rewards for exceptional effort and performance. Thank you to the teachers involved for facilitating such events.
- Our rugby teams are heading off to compete at the state level this week - what an achievement! We wish them all the best!
- Behind the scenes, our talented production students are putting the final touches on their performance, set to open in the very first week of Term 3. Make sure you get your tickets!
- Our senior students did a great job with their approach to mid-year exams, demonstrating great maturity and preparation. These exams are a key step in building their skills for success in the final assessments to come.
- Students proudly represented us in the inter-school robotics tournament - an exciting showcase of innovation, teamwork and creativity.
Last week we had our termly House Assembly, and it was great to see so many students be recognised and celebrated for their outstanding academic results, excellent attendance, and the many who consistently demonstrate our school values - your hard work and dedication never go unnoticed. It’s also been fantastic to see students taking responsibility and showing pride in our shared spaces, particularly in looking after our house kitchens - thank you for helping to keep our environment respectful and welcoming for everyone.
Finally, I’d like to share that I will be finishing up at the school at the end of this term. It has been an amazing to be a part of the Hampton Park Community, the students at this school are an incredible group of young people. I would like to introduce Caroline Grove who will take over the Head of Walton role, and who will be an excellent addition to the team. You can reach out to her or the student engagement leader for your child’s year level with any questions.
As we prepare to finish Term 2 on Friday 4th July, we hope all students and families enjoy a restful break. We’ll be back to begin Term 3 on Monday 21st July, ready for another great term ahead.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy break, and all the best for Term 3!
From the Walton House Team
