High Achievers Assembly
Our High Achievers Assembly for Year 7, 8 and 9 students on Wednesday was very special. Our awards underwent significant revision this year, to reflect our goal of providing every student with a successful pathway and ensuring that the awards were clearly linked with student and school data and outcomes.
The categories of the awards range from sporting endeavours both in and out of school, The Arts across several categories, individual student achievement across many areas as well as top performers in single learning areas, community service and values.

Optional BYOD Program for Year 11 and 12 Students
The Hampton SHS Board, P&C and staff are delighted to announce that we are rolling out an Optional Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in 2025 for Year 11 and 12 students only*. We have seen an increase in students in Senior School bringing their own device without the appropriate policy and process undertaken, please see the Overview and Agreement link below. We want to assure families that current and appropriate laptops will continue to be supplied to all students in classrooms who do not have their own device.
At this point in time, Year 7-10 students are not permitted to bring their own device to school.
Students must return the parent/guardian signed agreement to Hampton SHS Reception and follow the set-up information to be able to use their device in classrooms under teacher direction. The Mobile Device policy (Off and Away All Day) will be in place before school, recess and lunchtime as per current policy, with the exception of the Library where appropriate use will be allowed.
Please read the attached Hampton BYOD Year 11 & 12 Overview carefully for more detailed information.
