Rose Bay house system

11 Apr 2019

Term 1 of 2019 has seen the launch of a brand new House System at Rose Bay Secondary College. Working collaboratively with students, teachers, and the wider school community, the new house system has been designed to promote an increased sense of school-wide engagement whilst also maintaining the unique identity of the college.

Following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, a number of Aboriginal Leaders played an important role in the early relationships between the colonists and the Eora people. Rose Bay Secondary College’s new house system is named after these significant Aboriginal Australians, assisting our students to develop an understanding of their contributions to Australia's rich history.

These 6 new houses are:

Barangaroo – Purple – Authority

Bennelong – Yellow – The Influencer

Bungaree – Blue – The Navigator

Colebee – Orange – The Tribesman

Daringha – Green – The Carer

Pemulwuy – Red – The Warrior

To assist with the launch of the new houses, several whole school initiatives were implemented to promote and maintain the connection each student has with their house groups.

In Week 2, all student were formally welcomed to their house through a House Assembly. These assemblies included guest speakers, activities, and aimed at developing each students’ connection to their house group. Students were also made aware of the new ways their achievements at Rose Bay Secondary College would be recognised through the house point system.

To coincide with the Swimming Carnival, bright colourful banners with each house name were purchased by the school. These looked fantastic and contributed wonderfully to the sense of school spirit at the carnival.

 

 

With the significant financial assistance of the Rose Bay Secondary College P&C, a large digital sign was placed in the plaza for use alongside the new house system. This sign now displays a regularly updated scoreboard of house points, promotes student notices, and celebrates student achievements on a regular basis. A big thank you to the Rose Bay Secondary P&C for all of their assistance in ensuring this initiative came to fruition.
