House System
We have three houses at the Academy, which students are assigned to when they first join in Year 7.
The house system creates a sense of belonging for our students, who regularly compete with each other in our house competitions and celebrate each other’s success in the fortnightly house assemblies.
Each house is assigned to a famous scientist who are all unique and have had to overcome adversity in their journey, to becoming successful. They represent our diverse community at the Academy.
