House System
The College House System is an important aspect of Sacred Heart College life. Our students have several opportunities throughout the year to earn points for their House through our Spiritual, Academic, Cultural and Sporting pillars. The Concordia Sancta is awarded to the winning House during the Annual Awards Night at the end of the year.
Students attend Pastoral Care Group (PCG) within their House for the entirety of their six years at the College. To help Year 7 students settle in and build strong connections with their peers, they are given additional opportunities to bond within their House. This includes attending most of their core subjects (Religious Education, Science, English, and Humanities and Social Sciences) with their PCG/House group.
