There are also sport captains in each sport house that lead the houses into house and school spirit chants and organise house meetings and do various jobs. The houses are:
Bradman (Green) - named after the late Sir Donald Bradman, Australian cricketing legend.
Fraser (Yellow) - named after Australian champion swimmer Dawn Fraser.
Newcombe (Red) - named after Australian former World No. 1 tennis player John Newcombe.
Cuthbert (Blue) - named after Australian athlete and fourfold Olympic champion Betty Cuthbert.
