During the year there are many House events that contribute to a vibrant School Spirit and a sense of belonging for students across all Year Levels. In Junior School, activities include competitions in Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country, Netball and Soccer. In our Junior School, House events are highlights of the year where we acknowledge both the House that won the event, and also the House that wins the House Spirit Award.

House Captains work closely alongside a Teacher Mentor to help develop leadership skills and encourage friendships to blossom within all year levels of their House.

At Ivanhoe Girls' each students becomes a member of a House as soon as they are enrolled at the School. If a student has a family member who has previously attended the School, such as a Mother or Grandmother, they will usually be allocated to the same House in order to maintain a sense of tradition.
