House System
Mount Carmel College has three houses: Lourdes, Loreto, and Carmel. All three houses are named after Holy places that are important to Catholics. The houses compete for the house cup by participating in sports carnivals, House drama, Beach day, and can gain extra points for things such as singing practice for Masses and Mount Carmel day, Bringing notices and Forms back on time, and Getting student diaries signed for being used properly.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The golden mean in ethics, as in physics, is the centre of the system and that about which all revolve, and though to a distant and plodding planet it be an uttermost extreme, yet one day, when that planet’s year is completed, it will be found to be central.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
