Houses, Family Groups
Four houses with four family groups per house.
There are four houses, and each house is divided into small groups of about 10 students each. Each family group has a cross-section of students from throughout the school. Each family group meets together for lunch each week. They compete in various challenges and occasionally attend Mass as a family group.
The four houses are named after local landmarks. The family groups' names reflect significant saints from whom we can draw inspiration.
