House System
The House System is a fundamental structure in the personal formation of our students and a central component to life at Gregory Terrace.
Gregory Terrace's nine Houses bring together groups and classes of students of all ages, facilitating closer interactions between age groups and improved communication across the College. The Houses provide the framework for "Tutor Groups" and the "Buddy System" which are more condensed support, communication and social forums, providing great value and benefit to our students.
Our Houses advance their own sense of spirit, goal setting and striving within the broader Terrace Family and promote healthy competition and participation through inter-house events. They strongly support the College's goal of helping the development of the individual in the context of a close knit, sharing community.
In 2009, the House System was expanded from six to nine Houses. Appropriately named after Christian Brothers and others who have had a significant impact on College life and the history of Terrace, the Houses include:
