Our School - House System

COLLEGE HOUSES 

HOUSE PATRONS

The House Patrons are responsible for building up House SPIRIT and LOYALTY.  They run their House Assemblies and encourage competition within their House in relation to Sport, Mission effort and a wide range of other House activities.

SPORT HOUSE ACTIVITIES

All students are allocated to a particular House during their time at the College; members of the same family belong to the same House.  Within each House, Pastoral Groups within each year are formed, and a Pastoral Teacher works with the students within each specific group.

The four Houses are named after people who have made major contributions to Catholic Education and in the history of the College.
