Our Purpose

Hampstead Primary School is a supportive and inclusive learning community where we engage in rich and meaningful education that develops the knowledge, dispositions and capabilities of all learners to maximise their future choices and opportunities.

Principal's Welcome

Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,

Welcome to Hampstead Primary School.

Choosing Hampstead Primary School means joining a community where every child is known, valued and inspired to thrive. We are committed to creating a learning environment where every learner experiences a genuine sense of belonging, is challenged to achieve their personal best, and is empowered to grow as a confident, capable and compassionate citizen.

As Principal, I am proud to lead such a dynamic and diverse school community. At Hampstead Primary School, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation for successful learning. Working in partnership with our families, we nurture curiosity, resilience and a love of learning, ensuring every child is supported to reach their full potential.

Our dedicated teaching and support staff are highly skilled professionals who work collaboratively, guided by research and evidence, to provide engaging, inclusive and high-quality learning experiences. We are committed to ongoing reflection and continuous improvement, ensuring every student benefits from consistent teaching practices and the very best educational opportunities.

Our strategic priorities for 2026–2027 reflect our commitment to excellence for every learner:

Excellence in Numeracy – developing strong number and place value understanding through explicit teaching, problem solving and metacognitive strategies that build confidence, independence and self-regulation.

Excellence in Literacy – strengthening reading, spelling and writing through evidence-informed instruction, while developing rich vocabulary, deep comprehension and critical thinking.

Effective Learners – empowering students to become reflective, resilient and strategic learners who value growth, embrace challenges and take ownership of their learning.

These priorities are underpinned by our school values of Respect, Care and Personal Growth, which shape our culture and guide the way we learn, work and support one another each day.

At Hampstead Primary School, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed academically, socially and emotionally in a safe, inclusive and caring environment. Together with our families and community, we strive to inspire a lifelong love of learning and prepare our students to make a positive contribution to an ever-changing world.

I warmly invite you to explore our website, visit our school and discover what makes Hampstead Primary School such a special place to learn and grow. I look forward to welcoming you into our school community.

Warm regards,

Lee Van Der Hoek
Principal
