Hampton Park Secondary College has four Houses, each named after an influential Australian figure. Click on a House to meet the House leadership teams.
This year we have seen, not only as teachers but also from a house perspective, Walton students consistently act in a way that upholds the values of HPSC, and achieve great success throughout the year, both academic and personal. Our Walton students are smart, hardworking, and resilient; and have repeatedly demonstrated maturity, good-will and enthusiasm.
It has been wonderful to see you all be able to achieve success through navigating the extremely unpredictable nature of the last two years in remote learning, whether you were already at HPSC or finishing your primary school years. This was an incredible challenge for all, and your ability to withstand this, and thrive despite it, is admirable and something you should all be proud of.
Still in its first year, none of us imagined that this school year would be as successful as it has been for Hollows House, with so many students receiving values nominations as well as achieving such outstanding results in both academic and extracurricular activities across the school. We have seen you shine on sporting fields, athletics tracks, and in the pool. Hollows students challenge each other in academic competitions, mentoring sessions and lunchtime activities, embracing the house spirit, wearing blue with pride and representing us in such a way. It makes us proud to be your Leadership Team!
We want to thank our Hollows students for their kindness and cooperation as our staff work to provide quality learning experiences for our students and support their efforts to learn. We are consistently amazed by the flexibility, tenacity and creativity that our students continue to show. They are resilient, and we know that they will come through this year having learned important lessons about themselves as learners and as young adults.
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.Â
