The House System is used to promote a positive school culture, encourage school connectedness, and celebrate student success. House points are awarded for a range of student achievements to promote friendly competition between houses.

- Yorke (Yorke Peninsula)
- Spencer (Spencer Gulf)
- Eyre (Eyre Peninsula)
- Vincent (Gulf St Vincent)
These were later reduced to three houses and on amalgamation to two:
