House System

Search

Our House System goes beyond academics, creating memorable experiences and building lasting connections within our school community.

Our House System is an integral part of the Beaumaris Secondary College experience. From the moment students join our community, they become members of a unique House. Siblings within families are assigned to the same House.

The significance of our House system lies in its ability to cultivate positive school spirit, instilling a sense of belonging and pride among students. Through cross-age activities, it fosters interaction by engaging students in house activities and friendly competition. Additionally, it serves as a platform for leadership development, offering opportunities for students to hone their leadership skills.

Students engage in a variety of exciting activities, including swimming, athletics, cross country, Beauie Bake Off, Dance-off, Art competitions, House Colours Day and more.
