In the early years of the school, there were three sports houses: Canberra (blue), Sabre (yellow) and Meteor (green). In the mid-60s, Mirage house was added.

Later again the four house names were changed to Hercules and Iroquois, with Mirage and Sabre being retained. In 1986 the four house names were again changed, now down to three: Hornets (yellow), Falcons (blue) and Mustangs (red).
