Jackson's
Jackson's House is one of the oldest of the ten houses at UCC, represented by the colour yellow. Members of Jackson's house are known as "Jacksonites". The house is colloquially referred to as "J-House", and at times, the "J-Team". The main house cheer is an adaptation of "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. Whenever they reach the podium to speak in assembly, Jackson's house members are expected to start their presentation with the house's call-and-answer cheer of "Ahoy". Jackson's is led by Head of House Jake Salsburg and four Prefects: Christopher Kim, Will Lace, Trevor Thorburn, and Graham "Jones" Steele. The Senior House Adviser is Mr. Matt Griem.
