House Points

At Colyton Grammar School, our core values are Scholarship, Humility and Service. Service to others helps to create a true sense of belonging, as we understand that our students’ school experience goes beyond the classroom; memories are made through opportunities, events and healthy competition.

The House system is an important way in which students can immerse themselves in the life of the school, giving them a sense of belonging and opportunities to take on important roles of responsibility. An education at Colyton prepares you for a future that doesn’t yet exist, by being a member of a House which promotes the value of service through collaboration, competition and leadership, as well as academic excellence.
