Hampton Senior High School

There’s something special happening at Hampton… and our students are leading it.

Our 10c Recycling initiative, driven by our Student Councillors and proudly led by Oliver, is a wonderful example of leadership in action. Rain or shine, Oliver continues to show dedication, resilience, and heart.

This year, every can collected supports Telethon, making each small action part of something much bigger.

Thank you to our Student Councillors for your teamwork and commitment to creating positive change.

✨ Small actions really can make a big difference.

Fashion and Letterpress Career Taster 👕🎨

Our Year 9 students enjoyed a hands-on visit to the Northbridge campus, including a gallery tour and watching potters in action.

They then tried their own screen printing and letterpress printing, getting creative and making some fantastic work!

What an incredible experience for our student leaders at the Leadership Camp in Cahoots, Bullsbrook last term! 🌟

Students from Years 8–12 came together for a camp filled with leadership, teamwork, resilience and plenty of fun. From leadership seminars and scenario workshops to high ropes challenges, quiz night and water bomb games (sorry Mr Chick! 💦), the camp created opportunities for students to step outside their comfort zones and build meaningful connections.

A highlight of the camp was seeing our senior leaders support younger students so naturally and compassionately. A special mention goes to Lincoln, who showed outstanding leadership and kindness by supporting fellow students throughout the camp and even teaching everyone how to play the didgeridoo around the campfire.

Thank you to our incredible staff for their support and dedication throughout the camp, and to Principal Tracy Griffiths and Deputy Principals Kiasten and Rose for generously sharing their leadership journeys with students. The thoughtful questions and discussions showed just how engaged and inspired our students were.

A huge thank you as well to everyone involved in organising and supporting the camp, including Student Services and the PBS team for their funding support.

We are so proud of our student leaders and can’t wait to see this camp continue to grow each year!

Year 8 Applied Science students competed in the first STEM challenge this year, where they worked in teams to design and construct a bionic hand using clasping and tilting movements to fill a measuring cylinder with water. 🦾🫗
The winner's Emayous, Cuong, Vojin and Heet poured 76 ml of water in 20 seconds giving them along with second and third place finishers points towards Hampton's STEM cup! 🏆

13 of our Year 9 and 10 students recently took part in a “Try a Trade” experience at the NextGen Skills Centre, spending three days developing practical painting and plumbing skills.

Through engaging, hands-on activities, students not only built their confidence but also discovered the important role Maths plays in trade careers. A great opportunity to explore new skills and future pathways!

𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 💇‍♀️

Our Year 9 students recently stepped into the world of hairstyling during a Career Taster excursion at North Metropolitan TAFE, Midland.

Working in a real salon environment, students learned a variety of braiding and curling techniques before creating their own final style outcomes. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that gave them insight into the skills and pathways within the hairdressing industry, while having plenty of fun along the way!

At the end of last term, our Specialist Cheer and Dance students had an exciting opportunity to visit Perth Magic All Stars for a special excursion.

During their time there, the team showed incredible dedication and teamwork as they worked hard to learn their routine in preparation for the upcoming competition season. We’re so proud of their effort and can’t wait to see them shine on stage later in the year!

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 – 𝐋𝐚𝐛 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 🔬

Our Year 9 students recently rolled up their sleeves and stepped into the world of science during a hands-on lab skills taster at North Metropolitan TAFE, Murdoch.

From creating elephant toothpaste and slime to extracting strawberry DNA, students explored real laboratory techniques in a fun, messy and engaging environment. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience how science works in action and gain insight into careers in lab-based fields.

𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤! 🎨

Art Club is returning for Term 2, and we can’t wait to see our creative students back in action!

Join us every Monday at lunch in D2—whether you love drawing, painting or just want to try something new, all students are welcome. Come along, get creative and have some fun!

We are proud to share that our 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 is growing to support our students better.

🥣 Breakfast will now be available on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 - 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, supporting and strengthening our existing school breakfast mornings. This means even more students can start their day with a healthy, nutritious meal.

At Hampton, we know that a good breakfast leads to:
✔️ Improved concentration
✔️ Better engagement in learning
✔️ A positive and productive start to the day

Our goal is simple — every child at Hampton is supported to grow, learn, and thrive, and their wellbeing is always at the centre of what we do.

This expansion has been made possible by the support of the Cook Labour Government, helping us move closer to providing a 5-day-a-week breakfast program for our students.

👏 A special thank you also to the Salvation Army in Morley, who continue to run our much-loved Thursday breakfast, which is always so well received by students.
