Students, staff and parents alike gathered to celebrate all things education at Hampton Park Primary School on Wednesday 25 May.

Now in its 78th year, Education Week sees schools across the state celebrate the strengths and achievements of Victoria’s state education system.

The celebrations also marked 150 years of public education, with families at Hampton Park Primary School engaging in ‘old-school’ activities including calligraphy, quoits and gum-nut buddies.

While some enjoyed a blast to the past, others took a leap into the future, playing around with virtual reality headsets, robots and digital numeracy games.

Hampton Park Primary School teacher Shilpa Sanghani said lots of fun was had by all.

“Families and friends were able to gain an insight into their children’s learning and more importantly the students enjoyed sharing their learning with them,” she said.
