House allocation
Students are allocated to a Sport house – Evans (blue), Kendall (green), Lawson (red) and Paterson (yellow). These house allocations are used for the weekly Interhouse Sport Competition, as well as the school Carnivals. Students are able to represent their house in a range of competitive events with the purpose of identifying a champion house.
Interhouse Sport Competition
Students in Year 7 participate in a weekly sport lesson which is conducted as part of an Interhouse Sport competition. Students nominate to participate in a sport and form teams within their house groups. Teams compete in the sport against teams from the other three houses.
Students participate in a Summer, Winter, Spring and Recreation sport season offering a range of sport and recreation options.
Points are awarded to all teams participating which, when tallied, are used to identify the champion house for each season.
Interhouse Carnivals
Students have the opportunity to participate in school Interhouse Carnivals in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. These carnivals are a great opportunity for students to show house spirit, good-spirited rivalry, as well as their skills in particular events.
Students who finish in the top places at these carnivals, and who meet qualifying standards, have the opportunity to represent the school in District, Regional and State sporting teams.
Interschool Sports
Students from all year levels are able to participate in District Interschool Sports Days (known as Gala Days) throughout the school year and to represent the school in different sporting competitions against the five other schools in the West Brisbane District.
Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 can participate in three sporting days: a Summer sport, Winter sport and Spring sport. Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 can participate in two sporting days: one each for Summer and Winter sports.
The purpose of these days is to provide quality interschool sport experiences for as many students as possible and to develop the valued skills of teamwork, discipline and fair play. Additionally, these days are used to determine the champion school that will represent the district at the Metropolitan Finals.
