WELCOME TO
Hamlyn Banks Primary School
Hamlyn Banks Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive learning community where every child is supported to grow, learn, and thrive. We are committed to providing a safe, engaging, and positive environment that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
At Hamlyn Banks Primary School, we celebrate diversity, promote respect, and inspire students to become capable, caring, and resilient learners.
{
We love how they provide individual support to all the children (so no one lags behind) and address concerns in a timely manner
{
HBPS is a great school. All the teachers, the staff, and the Principal are amazing and very supportive
{
The teachers in the school are all amazing in how they take the time to support my child in every way possible
{
Heading into 7th year of being a part of Hamlyn Banks Primary we speak very highly & I’m always promoting it. Teachers are fun, kind & always attend to individual needs. We love how there are family nights like outdoor movie nights, colour runs and school concerts
{
From the very first tour, we knew Hamlyn Banks was different, and that feeling has only grown stronger as we’ve become part of the school community. We couldn’t be happier with our choice
{
The leadership team at HBPS genuinely know all of the students, and that personal connection makes such a difference. Our son feels seen, supported, and encouraged every day
{
Thank you to HBPS for being an inclusive, supportive, understanding school. The level of dedication from all staff I’ve encountered is what all schools should have. Thank you again for all you’ve done for us and our children! And go Devon crocs! Chomp chomp!
{
My children both had the same teacher in prep and she was amazing. The level of care, dedication and support they received was incredible
{
Hamlyn Banks is a school where all the staff love doing what they do! And the children really thrive off their passion!
{
HBPS takes care of my child like their own. I feel welcomed by the teachers and the values of the school make a big difference
{
We have been so happy with Hamlyn Banks year after year. The principal and teachers are fantastic – all clearly passionate about the kids and their learning
{
My child transitioned to HBPS at the start of Grade 4. She immediately felt welcome and accepted by her peers. She goes to school with a big smile on her face. It’s wonderful to see her discover the joy of learning
{
We’ve had such a great experience at Hamlyn Banks. The teachers and principal truly care about the kids, and the communication is always clear and open
{
My children have been in excellent hands throughout the years, as the staff have consistently supported and extended them to reach their full potential in every way
{
It allows involvements, achievements and celebrates everyone! We do it all together! A true community spirit!
{
Not only for the students and the teachers, but families, friends, caregivers! It’s a one big whole community! Dedicated to every child that attends!”
{
I love how this school is able to bring everyone together, as a whole! HBPS is a team environment
{
I honestly couldn’t recommend Hamlyn Banks PS more. It has been an exceptional place for my daughter to grow, learn, and thrive
{
Nigel is truly one of the happiest, most engaging principals you’ll ever meet. The way he connects with the kids and their families makes the whole school feel like one big community. And the staff? They consistently go above and beyond whenever needed
{
From the moment I walked into Hamlyn Banks PS for our first walkthrough, I knew it was the right school for my daughter. Now, as she finishes her seventh year, I can confidently say this school has been incredible for her. The support she’s received has been nothing short of amazing
