Hampton Park Primary is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment. The physical and psychological wellbeing of our students is of utmost importance.
The school recognizes that students reach their full educational potential when they are happy, healthy and safe, and when there is a positive school culture to engage and support them in their learning.
The school fosters an environment in which the students have respect for themselves and others, taking responsibility for their behaviour.
The students agree to work in line with the school’s values – Respect, Co-operation, Friendliness, Equality and Best Effort.
