House

The House program at St Margaret's provides an extra dimension to the school life. Every student belongs to one of three Houses - Campbell, Cunningham or Gipson. House activities run throughout the year covering a broad range of co-curricular activities including sport, debating, music, drama and social service.

Student representatives elected at every Year level undertake the responsibility for the organisation and running of these activities. These representatives are, in turn, empowered to co-opt different leaders for the different house activities, thereby allowing students who have a particular interest and expertise in any area the opportunity to develop leadership and management skills in a hands-on situation.

The overall responsibility for running the Houses is undertaken by Year 12 House Captains who are supported in their management of their House by staff House Links and the House Coordinator. Year 9 undertakes special leadership roles in running major Middle School events such as the Winter and Summer Sports, the Middle School Debating Festival, and the Themes and Dreams Festival at the end of the year.
