St. Aloysius’ College
House System
Promoting Unity, Responsibility & Leadership
The ideology behind our House System is to enhance the sense of community and belonging within the College. The system helps bond students of all ages and different geographic areas (a result of our large number of feeder schools).
Our House System allows our students to achieve more togetherness and unity as a student body and to experience more successes as individuals and in groups. This in turn, helps to make them mature into responsible students of St. Aloysius’ College both within the college and in the broader community. We actively encourage students to be proud of themselves, each other and their school.
Every student and staff member in St. Aloysius’ College is affiliated to a particular house when they begin in the college. We have 6 houses within the college, we chose to use the colours of the rainbow which symbolise inclusion, joy and happiness.
Each house has six student leaders. One from each year which are chosen at the start of the year through a voluntary basis. Each house also has two House Teachers who oversee the various events during the year.
