School marks a milestone

Hampton Park Primary has been educating children for 100 years.

Hampton Park Primary School turns 100 years old this month.

Staff and students believe it is a wonderful time to be part of such a lovely school and look forward to the open day, this Saturday 12 February from 11 am – 3 pm.

Events and entertainment include musician Fred Hess, scones and a cuppa, a barbecue, art show display and school tours.

The centenary day will also include the launch of a book featuring a collection of memories from past students put together by current teacher Crispian Deacon. Other highlights include the official naming of the Leonie King STEM Centre, the opening of the Century Garden with pathways named after previous staff members and a merchandise stall selling 100 years memorabilia, the school cook book and, of course, the book ‘Student Voices – Memories of Hampton Park Primary School 1922 – 2022’.

The school community are looking foward to the day being a celebration of the past 100 years and a chance to acknowledge the long history of their school.
