House System
As is common in Australian secondary schools, students at Good Counsel College are grouped into 4 separate houses. These houses are usually important during interhouse sporting carnivals but are also commonly used to group students at assemblies and especially during mass transport to event destinations. Each house has an elected male and female captain, who are responsible for aspects of school carnival preparation.
At Good Counsel College it is seen as tradition for members of the same family to be in the same house.
The 4 houses are based on prominent Catholic figureheads.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way. Therefore not only does the system alienate humanity, but at the same time alienated humanity supports this system as its own involuntary masterplan, as a degenerate image of its own degeneration, as a record of people’s own failure as individuals.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
