House System
From 2010, QAHS introduced a House System. Students can gain points for their house from entry into various competitions, challenges and events both at the Academy, locally or nationally. There will be a trophy at the end of the Year for the House with the most points.
There are four houses:
- Ignis (fire) – Ruby colour
- Aqua (water) – Sapphire colour
- Ventus (wind) – Topaz (yellow) colour
- Terra (earth) – Emerald colour

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)
“In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
