The House System at Kingston State College continues to expand after a significant rejuvenation from 2018. House based activities are designed to build a sense of community and belonging at school. It more about having a go, having fun and participating than solely athletic prowess. Students of all abilities and interests can contribute to the House point system.
Student House Captains are selected as part of the school’s leadership team and given a range of responsibilities, including leading house parades and full school parades, checking in on the participation and wellbeing of junior classes, selecting and running house games, and preparing chants, banners, and costumes for major events.
House games provide opportunities for the whole school to engage in team-building activities, sports and games, and competitions that cater to all abilities, all while being delivered by student House Captains.
House points are awarded across the full scope of the College’s curricular and extracurricular activities. As well as the major events hosted within the school, house points are more frequently earnt through house games, attendance data, bottle and can recycling efforts.
House captains are responsible for presenting the point tallies and fortnightly house updates during full school parades in the form of an engaging skit designed by the students themselves. All of these efforts culminate in the House Cup, which is awarded at the Year 12 Graduation Ceremony to the house that has accrued the most points.
