House System
The house system was begun in 2006; replacing the practice of assigning students to houses based on their stream of study. Each cohort of J1 students is divided into six houses:
- Eagle (red)
- Falcon (orange)
- Hawk (yellow)
- Heron (purple)
- Phoenix (blue)
- Seagull (grey)
Each house is led by a house captain and vice-captain. The house captains also head committees that comprise student representatives drawn from each class under the house.
A track and field meet is held every year at the TPJC stadium where students represent their houses in events. Besides track and field events, students win points for their houses by cheerleading, mascot and flag design competitions.
