House Teams

Students are allocated to a House Teams, for sporting carnivals and other whole school events. They stay in the same house throughout their years at school.

For the past few years (amongst Covid delays), we have actively sought and run competitions to rename and raise the profile of our House Teams at ENPS. After much consultation and deliberation, in 2022 we revealed our new House Team names, and in doing so demonstrating our commitment and respect to the First Nations people of our area, the Wurundjeri people. 

The traditional language of the Wurundjeri people of this area is Woi Worrung. As so, we have translated our House Team names to the language of our true history of ENPS. Play this audio file below to hear how to pronounce each team name.

Biik House: Earth – green

Gurrin House: Wind – yellow

Wiin House: Fire – red

Baan House: Water – blue

Our aim is to connect our House Teams to the dreamtime stories of the past that connect to our land and develop understanding, appreciation and acknowledgement of who we are as a country.
