The house system at Whittlesea Primary School aims to foster a connection to school for our students. They are placed in one of the four houses, which they remain in throughout their primary school journey. Throughout their time at school, students will compete in our house Athletics Carnival and other whole school events for their house and earn points for their house by demonstrating our community expectations while at school.
The 4 houses embrace the Indigenous names (Woiwurrung language) for Australian animals:
House captains and vice captains are selected from Year 6 each year to represent their house at sports carnivals, during assemblies, and at other whole school events. The primary role of the house captains at Whittlesea Primary School is to help run the house program through the collection and announcement of house points, as well as looking after sports at the school. They run sports borrowing during the breaks so that all our students can borrow equipment and be active, they help set up and run the inter-house sports competitions on Friday mornings and help out with the PMP program in the Foundation Physical Education classes.
