House Connect at OLSCC

This week I thought I would get everyone’s households talking about something that takes place in our college each week. If you are a parent of a student from Prep to Year 4, you may be left wondering, what even is House Connect as they are yet to engage in timetabled lessons. But, for our Year 5 to 12 students, they know all about it.

All students and teachers are expected to become fully involved in the life of the College and positively contribute to the House System.

There are four College Houses: MacKillop (red), McAuley (blue), Nolan (gold) and Rice (green). The Houses are integral to many curricular activities as well as sporting and co-curricular activities. 

House Connect at OLSCC is a weekly lesson where students from Years 5 – 12 have the opportunity to focus on the College’s key virtues of Wisdom, Humanity and Courage, the College’s Learning Dispositions, the College’s House Icons while engaging in building House Spirit. These groups are vertically arranged with students combining into the following class system:

The ‘House Cup’ is presented at the end of year Awards of Excellence Ceremony to the House which has accumulated the most points through the College’s 4 Domains: Academia, Spirituality – Living Your Faith (LYF), Sport and Culture.
