In the Junior School all students participate in Termly House Challenges which are fun, exciting and inspiring.
In Year 7 students have their Camp experience in their House groups, with each student being mentored by a Year 11 student leader from their same House. Events are developed by Year 11 Mentors and implemented across the year with the guidance of both the Year 7 Coordinator and Coordinator of Student Leadership.
Each House is led by a group of Captains and Leaders selected from both Junior and Senior School. These groups are mentored by staff House Leaders.
Across the year there are a number of events that students participate in to earn points towards the overall total, culminating in the award of the ELTHAM College House Cup at the end of the year - a highly sought after prize.
- House Cup
- House Music, staged at Hamer Hall Arts Centre Melbourne
