Deputy Principal 

The House system (Berry, Laidlaw, Learmonth and Young) at College plays a vital role in strengthening student connections, fostering a sense of belonging, and encouraging teamwork through sport, academic achievement, and service. Participation in House activities is an opportunity for students to develop leadership, camaraderie, and school spirit. House service, in particular, is an essential aspect that helps students give back to their community and contribute to something bigger than themselves.

We ask all students to get involved and support House activities as much as possible. The first of these events is House Swimming, followed shortly by House Athletics. 

To celebrate students who go above and beyond for their House, we recognise their efforts with special awards at the end of the year.
