Hampton Public School
Congratulations to our newest Students of the Week!
In our K/1 group, Mila has impressed us all with her wonderful start to Kindergarten. She is working so hard in literacy and numeracy and is quickly becoming an important member of our class. In our 3-6 group, Niamh has made a terrific start with her leadership role at Hampton. She is a responsible leader who is demonstrating plenty of care for others. Today we also presented Niamh with her Year 6 blazer and shirt for 2025. I’m sure she’ll wear them with pride!

Scone Success
Our Year 8 Tech Mandatory class put their cooking skills to the test by preparing delicious scones. Students followed a traditional recipe, carefully measuring ingredients, kneading the dough and baking them to perfection. The result? Golden, fluffy scones that were enjoyed fresh out of the oven. It was a fun and hands-on lesson, showcasing their growing confidence in the kitchen!

Courtside Action
One of our new teachers has been hitting the court with students at break times, bringing great energy and competition to the games. It’s awesome to see staff getting involved and sharing the love of basketball. Mr Cufurovic will be coaching the boys’ basketball team this year. With his guidance and experience, the team is set for a strong season ahead.
