Houses
The school has 4 houses: these are named, in keeping with the school's heritage, after 4 missionaries, Carey (blue), Chalmers (red), Livingstone (green) and Moffat (yellow). The house system promotes a healthy competitive spirit amongst the students at Eltham as they compete in a year round programme of events - both academic, athletic and artistic.
Senior students play major roles in organising events, often co-ordinating year groups across the whole school. All students develop a strong loyalty to their House and the inner community it provides.
