House Structure
Edenbrook Staff understand the need to build an educational community through quality relationships with students, parents and other staff and the College has the growth and development of each individual as its major goal. To this end we have introduced a House system.
Maintaining a strong House culture is the cornerstone of the House system in order to develop a sense of belonging for all staff and students.
The Edenbrook houses are named after four outstanding Australians who excelled in their fields of endeavour who have demonstrated the values and skills we wish to develop in our students.
