St Clare’s College has 8 Student Houses. Each student in Years 7-10 belongs to a House based pastoral group within her year group. Senior pastoral groups are vertically structured so each pastoral group has students from Years 11 and 12.

Each House has two elected Captains in Year 12. The House Captains together with their Senior Pastoral Leaders and the Student Representative Council Facilitator organise and run inter-house activities.

A charity is adopted by each House for one year and through various fundraising activities the House members collect for the charity during Terms 3 and 4. The combined proceeds of this work are distributed between each of the charities and cheques are presented to representatives of these at the Charities Assembly held during Term 4. Students earn House points and medals which are awarded at the end of the year for participation in House activities and for spirit displayed throughout the year.

The eight Houses are named after Aboriginal mythological figures. They are as follows:

Alinda | Japara | Kipara | Makara | Ulamina | Wareen | Wibalu | Wirana

The colours and logos of each House are simple but striking and are emblazoned on the flags, banners and badges.
