At Mount Erin College, the House system is more than just a framework for sporting events—it is a school-wide program designed to integrate all aspects of student life. Unlike the traditional approach seen in many primary schools, where house colours are primarily used for competitions, MEC’s House structure fosters a strong sense of belonging and continuity throughout a student’s journey.

Students and staff are distributed across four Houses—Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow. These are vertical groups, meaning students remain in the same House from Year 7 through to Year 12, strengthening their connection to the school community over time.

Each House is led by a dedicated team, including a House Leader, and an Assistant House Leader. This team serves as the first point of contact for families regarding student management, including attendance, uniform, academic progress, wellbeing, and future pathways.

During orientation, new students are assigned to a House—typically the same one as any older siblings—and introduced to their House Leaders, who will support them throughout their secondary schooling. The House Leadership Team takes the time to build strong relationships with students and their families, ensuring each student feels supported and engaged. Parents and carers are encouraged to reach out with any concerns, knowing the House Leadership Team is committed to providing guidance and assistance every step of the way.
