HOUSE SPORTS
Each student is allocated a House at the beginning of their secondary school life.
There are 4 Houses which are named after Australian Defence Force naval bases.
- Leeuwin
- Huon
- Encounter
- Cerberus
All students are encouraged to participate in a range of intra-house competitions. Each year there is a competition between the Houses in Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country. These days are designed for all students. These are keenly contested, fun and participation for all is actively promoted. House Captains are elected for Seniors, Intermediates and Juniors. Shields are presented to House Captains for each individual competition with an overall shield for the combined total of all the sports.
The College encourages a broad range of school teams to compete at the Peninsula district level which consists of 6 schools and then, if successful, through to Southern Zone and State level.
