House News
This year has been another busy and rewarding one for Freeman House at Hampton Park Secondary College. While Freeman finished 4th in the House Cup, there is still plenty to celebrate, particularly the enthusiasm and commitment our students have shown throughout the year. The House Cup recognises student attendance, school values, participation in events and learning habits, and each of these areas provides an opportunity for us to reflect on our achievements and consider how we can continue to improve.
One of the standout areas for Freeman this year was participation in school events. Whether competing in inter-house sports, taking part in academic competitions, showcasing talents in the arts or getting involved in other school activities, Freeman students demonstrated enthusiasm, pride and a willingness to get involved.
Although we may not have achieved the House Cup result we hoped for, our goal is to build on the positive spirit already shown and approach the new year with determination, pride and a commitment to improvement.
As we move further into term 4, students will soon have the opportunity to begin their 2027 subjects through the Commencement Program. During this two-week period, students will attend classes for their upcoming year level, giving them a valuable head start on the learning ahead. Attendance throughout Commencement is essential, as the learning covered during these sessions will form the foundation for subjects when classes officially begin in 2027.
The program is also an opportunity to build relationships with new teachers and classmates, become familiar with subject expectations and develop positive learning routines before the new school year begins. It allows students to approach their next stage of learning with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of what lies ahead.
We encourage all students to make the most of this opportunity by setting high expectations, approaching new challenges with an open mind and actively engaging in their learning. Whether exploring an unfamiliar subject or extending knowledge in a favourite area, students should ask questions, contribute to class discussions and give every task their best effort.
Commencement is an important opportunity to start fresh, establish positive habits and take responsibility for future success. Let’s finish the year positively and begin preparing for a successful 2027!
