Not every student connects through sport — but every student deserves to feel part of their House community.

Many House systems unintentionally engage only a small group of students.

While traditional sporting events can be highly valuable, they don’t always create opportunities for every student to feel involved, connected or successful within their House community.

Whole-School House Experiences was created to help schools broaden participation through inclusive, student-led House experiences that engage a wider range of students across the school.

What's included in the Whole-School House Experiences bundle

Three inclusive, student-led House experiences designed to broaden participation, strengthen connection and engage a wider range of students through creative, social and performance-based House experiences. Includes a strategic implementation guide to support schools in planning and delivering the experiences.

Designed to Engage More Students

These experiences have been intentionally selected to support different student interests and strengths.

By moving beyond sport-only activities, schools can create more opportunities for students to:

  • Participate confidently
  • Feel included
  • Connect with their House community
  • Contribute in different ways

Student Leadership In Action

Each experience also provides meaningful opportunities for student leadership.

Schools can involve student leaders in:

  • Planning and organisation
  • Promotion and communication
  • Facilitating activities
  • Supporting participation
  • Building House spirit

This helps student leadership move beyond meetings and into real action across the school.
