Both Primary and Secondary run three sports carnivals each year - Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country running.
It is expected that all students attend the relevant carnivals and participate fully in one or more events. Carnivals are hotly contested, with students from the four houses cheering on their team-mates in search for their personal best.
The houses and their respective colours are:
- Strezlecki - Green
- Northcote - Blue
- Townsend - Red
- Bogong - Yellow
