Newsletter 6th February, 2025.


From the Principal

Welcome back to school for another year of learning and fun. We welcome back last years students and families and new families to our school.

I would like to draw your attention to our Welcome BBQ that we are having on Wednesday 5th March. We welcome our Terang Campus families to Terang and our Cobden Families to our Middle Years building from 5pm-7pm.

Your child will show you around the school and show you some of the fantastic work they have been doing to start off the year.

The middle years students will be proud to show off their brand new building, all families are welcome to come and have a look at our brand new facilty.

Come along with your family and enjoy a free sausage, meet some other families and tour through the school. We look forward to seeing everyone!

Child safety is Hampden P-12’s highest priority as we continuously work hard to review our child safe policies for all environments, and the wonderful staff working with our students are aware of all the standards. Our policies are available online through our website or by calling the office on 55951995. You can also contact the principal or your child’s teacher if you have any concerns or would like further clarification of our policies or procedures.

We are currently working with artists to design some new logo’s for our school that will reflect our new name, once these are confirmed we will release them to the community for consultation.

We look forward to a big year of growth and celebration for all our students.

Take care,
Kylie Carter
Principal - Hampden P-12 School
