House Teams

Four House teams were established in 2007 encompassing years 7 - 12.

The house teams are:

Mount Sion
Callan
Kilkenny
Waterford

The house names all played a significant part in the life of Blessed Edmund Rice. The teams were established on the model of vertical groupings to encourage social, interaction, peer group mentoring and a buddy system between the senior and junior students. A positive behaviour program the Three Bs was developed for students to encourage them to learn, live, support and work together in a variety of situations.

The three Bs are:

Be a good learner
Be caring
Be safe

House Teams earn points by fostering care for the each other and the environment at recess and lunch by being a good sport and putting rubbish away. House teams are also used at sporting carnivals and charity drives for example Vinnies Christmas Food Hamper Appeal.
