Hampton Senior High School has a proud tradition in our local community, built over 50 years, as an Independent Public School whose graduates are recognised for the strength of their character alongside the quality of their academic performance. The lure of our Gifted and Talented Dance Program and our accreditation as a Specialist School for Digital Technologies, Drama and Cheer Dance, attracts students from a wide range of schools across the State, with each adding to the diverse cultural, linguistic and aspirational nature of our school population.
What keeps the students here, helps them thrive and promotes pride in the oft-used phrase “We are Hampton” is the professional knowledge, practice and engagement of our staff who endeavour to ensure everyone has the chance to live our school vision – Aspire, Innovate, Achieve.
Multiple Pathways To Success
We have a commitment to ensure that our students have every opportunity to capitalise on their strengths to achieve success in their endeavours. Our diverse programmes readily prepare all students whether they pursue vocational, academic or specialist streams.
Beyond the Classroom
We have a commitment to ensuring that our students have access to nationwide essential systems and are well equipped to take advantage of the possibilities of new initiatives. Offering the possibility to explore real world learning that goes beyond the classroom.
Follow The Dream
Our Follow the Dream program for Aboriginal students and Cadet (Bush Rangers) program engage students in a variety of learning opportunities, providing them with activities and educational experiences to improve their engagement, performance and pride.
Preparing For The Future
We utilise digital technologies as an integral component of learning and teaching programs safely and responsibly. Thoughtful use of technology throughout the curriculum improves engagement and encourages collaboration. It allows students to prepare for the fast paced digital world by developing their confidence, communication and leadership skills.

We wish our fantastic students every success and a great trip at the Australian Nationals for 'Subs in Schools' in NSW (qualifying after placing first and second at the state finals!).
During the afternoon students were reunited with their cartons for the first time in two weeks and worked on setting up their trade booths. Both HSHS teams have made some huge improvements since the state finals and the attention to detail stood out including the variety of cool merchandise and displays. We are very proud of the final result which is the result of some really hard work this term.
The early evening was spent on ROV repairs and finishing touches getting ready for tomorrow when the teams will be competing in their sea trials. Both teams finished the night with ROVs packed up and ready to get going with an early start and another long day on the horizon tomorrow.

Have you ever imagined what it might be like to see the world through different eyes, a microscopic jumping spider for example?
