House System

Organisation

A strong House system exists within the Junior School with all boys from Prep to Year 6 in a House, which allows all boys to contribute to the Academic Points award. Year 3-6 boys regularly throughout each term in their House groups. They participate in a variety of activities during these meetings and are allocated a cross age Peer Support group to work with throughout the year. The boys participate in a range of House activities that include: Chapel Services, Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics championships, Rapid Fire Cricket, Football, Soccer and T-Ball inter house events as well as House Trivia, Public Speaking and Chess.
