House System
As with most Australian schools, Churchie utilises a house system. Each student is a member of one of its eleven houses, and compete in inter-house sporting events: swimming, cross-country, track and field, trivia, public speaking, lightning chess, singing, and performance and design technology. Points are awarded according to participation and positioning. The inter-house cup is awarded at the end of the year, as well as a separate cup for each event.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“You take my house when you do take the prop
That doth sustain my house; you take my life
When you do take the means whereby I live.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery. Injustice sustained at the exact degree of necessary tension to turn the cogs of the huge machine-for- the-making-of-rich-men, without bursting the boiler.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
