Our House system is an important part of our school community, providing students with a sense of belonging, identity, and camaraderie. Our Houses are named after significant Catholic figures and have their unique motto and history.

House Week Celebrations

Each House has a designated week where House Leaders plan a range of different activities for students to participate in, including sports tournaments, trivia competitions, and community service projects.

These activities are designed to celebrate the unique identity and spirit of each House and promote a sense of unity and camaraderie among House members.

House Carnivals

Our House Carnivals, including the House Athletics Carnival and House Swimming Carnival, provide students with the opportunity to compete against their peers in a range of sporting events and swimming races.

These events are highly anticipated by students and provide a great opportunity for students to showcase their skills, compete in a supportive and inclusive environment, and build strong bonds with their peers.

The House system is an essential component of our College community and provides students with a sense of belonging, identity, and purpose. Our House Weeks and House Carnivals are just some of the events and activities that we host to celebrate the unique spirit of each House and promote a sense of unity and camaraderie across our school.
