Department of Education - Victoria

Hampton Primary is situated in a quiet bayside suburb 13 kilometres southeast from the Melbourne CBD. The school was established in 1913 and has strong community participation. The school fosters a caring atmosphere with clearly defined expectations, where students can develop in a supportive and safe learning environment. We educate our students to be enthusiastic, curious learners who are individuals and productive community members. Today's child needs to become a highly literate and numerate student who will develop, thrive and contribute as tomorrow's adult by being a confident life-long learner. We strive for excellence in academic achievement and promote the development of the whole child through a strong co-curriculum that values the arts and active participation in sport. The school values drive the management of student welfare including the development of our norms of Collaboration, Aspiration, Integrity and Resilience.  The student wellbeing program and future focused learning assist students to develop independence, confidence and resilience. We currently have 670 students. The school has 50.3 equivalent full time staff which includes 3 principal class, 4 leading teachers and 36.1 equivalent full time teachers, and 8.8 equivalent education support staff.
