ENGAGEMENT IN LEARNING

 House Structure

At Tarneit Senior College, students are allocated one of four houses. The house system  provides a structure which develops an important sense of identity and belonging, providing students with opportunities for participation, involvement and leadership which are  key aspects to developing self esteem, confidence and maturity. 

The House Leader is responsible for overseeing the academic and social development of students within the House. As part of a pastoral care role, the House Leader encourages students, monitors academic progress, counsels and assists individuals with specific academic problems and takes a personal interest in each young persons growth toward adulthood. They are also responsible for discipline matters. Parents are encouraged to establish strong relationships with their childs House Leader, as he or she is vitally interested in the overall development of each student in the House.
