Our School Houses

Participation and Teamwork

Our School House system plays a central role in fostering connection, belonging, and personal growth within our school community. 

From the moment students are welcomed into their house, they become part of a supportive network that encourages teamwork, leadership, and positive relationships across year levels. Guided by staff and strengthened through healthy competition, the House system nurtures school pride while supporting the wellbeing and development of every student.

Our four School Houses are named for the most prominent mountains in the four nations of our inaugural student group.

Your child will find a home in one of these four houses and will take part in a range of competitive events throughout the year – these can be in the realms of sporting, artistic, academic, or community events.  Your child’s teachers and other staff are all part of the house system, and there is a very real sense of pride in one’s house.

The premier event of the School House competitions is the annual Foundation Day Race.  This event is modelled after traditional ‘race around the Quad’ events, and the race contributes points to the awarding of each year’s prestigious House Trophy - A large cup presented to the house which has achieved the highest score across all events during the year.
