The Victoria College House System exists to promote a spirit of competition and teamwork. We have six Houses – Howard, Pakenham, Marlborough, Richmond, Crescent and Wellington. Pupils are encouraged to develop their talents by participating in a range of competitions including public speaking, poetry, drama, dance, athletics and design. These competitions allow the girls to improve the relationships they have with other members of their house.
6 competitive teachers have been nominated to encourage and represent a House:
Wellington: Dr Brown
Crescent: Mr McCracken
Marlborough: Dr Thompson
Richmond: Miss Faloona
Pakenham: Miss O'Neil
Howard: Mrs Clarke
Co-ordinator of House System: Dr Vasey
Let the competitions begin!
