House System

Students belong to a House for their entire time at the college and have the wrap around support of a House Leadership Team – which includes an Assistant Principal, Head of House, Student Learning Leaders, Wellbeing Liaisons, and Student House Captains. Each staff member at the college is also assigned a House to further promote connection, strengthening House spirit and pride and a healthy House competition.

Currently there are four houses that are assigned colours and elements. They are Freeman (Red, Fire), Walton (Yellow, Air), Hollows (Blue, Water) and Mabo (Green, Earth). During 2021 members of our school community participated in a ‘house renovation’ which involved selecting these names as well as House mottos and logos. The House system at Hampton Park Secondary College is unique and promotes student and staff connection, inclusion, safety and support. Throughout the year there are an enormous amount of curricular and co-curricular activities and events that promote House Pride and enable students to generate points for their house. Some of the major events include:

• Swimming Sports
• Athletics Day
• Cross Country

However students will also have the opportunity to collect points through attendance, consistent displays of the HPSC Values, book reviews and poetry competitions, and smaller games/competitions within their classes/year levels. Students are encouraged to participate in these events not only to collect house points but also to strengthen team spirit and inspire their peers.
