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:
“Babies and gin and church
And women and Sunday
All mixed with dimes and
Dollars and clean spittoons
And house rent to pay.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
