 The House System commenced in 1988 and the titles are derived from the names of four ships from the historic First Fleet that landed the first permanent European settlers from Great Britain in Australia two hundred years earlier in 1788 under the command of the Governor, Captain Arthur Phillip.Each house is led by two Senior House Captains (year 12) and six Vice House Captains (years 8, 10 and 11)

Students participate in a number of sporting and non-sporting activities during the year to gain points towards the "M.B.Peter Cup" for their house.
