Our Learning Program
The Curriculum
At Hampton Primary School, our rich curriculum is underpinned by a holistic philosophy that places equal emphasis on academic rigour, global citizenship and positive wellbeing. Learning occurs in a highly focused, collaborative and stimulating environment where teachers deliver carefully designed experiences that explicitly build deep levels of thinking and application.
The development of Literacy and Numeracy skills, knowledge and understanding forms the strong foundation of a broad curriculum that positions individual student needs at the centre of program planning and delivery. The school’s excellent record of sustained high academic achievement is enriched by our extensive Specialist program which provides a range of opportunities for students to excel in the areas of Music, Visual Art, Dance, Physical Education and Mandarin.
