Our students at Hampton Park Secondary College have a range of transport options available to them.
- Bike, Rider and Pedestrian Safety
- Bicycles & Scooters
- Student Cars
- Public Transport
All HPSC students are reminded that when travelling to and from the college, they have important responsibilities to make sure they do so safely.
For students riding bikes to/from school, they must be wearing a helmet for their safety and to meet Victorian law. This law applies on all roads, bike paths and bike lanes. Police can stop bike riders and issue a fine or warning for anyone not wearing a bike helmet.
Students are also reminded that they are to use the crossings located on Fordholm Road and Campbell Drive when crossing the road. When crossing the road, road rules state that pedestrians must cross at a pedestrian crossing if there is one within 20 metres, and must not cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of drivers. Rules also state pedestrians must be crossing the road as quickly and directly as possible.
A further reminder to parents and caregivers that cars are not permitted to enter the car parking areas for drop off or pick up. Parents and caregivers can drop off or pick up students by parking on either Fordholm Rd or Campbell Drive. This is to ensure the safety of all students at the start and end of the school day.
Thank you for your support in ensuring all of our members of the college community are safe and respectful of our road rules and laws.

We have a secure bicycle compound available for students who ride their bicycle or scooters to school. They must supply their own chain and padlock to secure their belongings within the shed. This compound is locked between 9.00am and 3.08pm. Students who ride their bicycles and scooters to the College are expected to obey all road laws and must be aware that they are required by law to wear a bicycle helmet. Bicycles and scooters may not be ridden on the school grounds. Bicycles and scooters are used and stored at the students own risk and the school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage.
Students with a valid license who drive to school are not allowed to park their car within the school grounds. Student cars must be parked legally on the road outside the school. Consequently, students are not permitted to go to their car during the school day. To protect the safety and welfare of yourself and all students, students must adhere to road rules and drive in a safe and responsible manner. Students are also not permitted to transport other students to and from any school program or function.
There is a bus stop out the front of Hampton Park Secondary College. To find more information about these services please go to Public Transport Victoria.
