Hampden State School

Hampden prides itself on offering excellence in teaching in a friendly, well resourced and attractive environment. Hampden's 90 pupils generally live within a six kilometre radius of the school, often on small acreage lots. The small township of Kuttabul, three kilometres to the north, is the school's local service centre. Hampden has in place a range of quality programs covering all of the Key Learning Areas. Our teachers liaise closely with two nearby secondary schools and eight primary schools which form our professional cluster group, ensuring continuity and review of curriculum materials. Hampden lives up to its motto 'Learning for Life' by providing a wide range of educational and extra curricular experiences for our students to participate in, and benefit from, including an annual camp, choir, community projects and leadership activities. The sense of community is very strong in our district with people coming together at every opportunity to support each other, help out on projects, or to celebrate special events.
