House system

Students are divided alphabetically into four house groups. School carnivals in swimming, athletics and cross country are organised on a house basis. There are also sport captains in each sport house that lead the houses into house and school spirit chants and organise house meetings and do various jobs. The houses are:

  •    Bradman – named in honour of the late Sir Donald Bradman, an Australian cricketing legend;
  •    Fraser – named in honour of Dawn Fraser, an Australian champion swimmer;
  •    Newcombe – named in honour of John Newcombe, an Australian former World No. 1 tennis player;
  •    Cuthbert – named in honour of Betty Cuthbert, an Australian athlete and fourfold Olympic champion.
