From the 1980s to the 1990s, the four houses were: St. Xaviers (yellow), St. Josephs (blue), St. Lawerence (green), and St. Thomas (red).
The current houses are each named after four prominent saints with their respective house colours: Theresa (Therese of Lisieux) (yellow), Anne Marie (Anne-Marie Javouhey) (blue), Alphonsa (Saint Alphonsa) (green), and Cecilia (Saint Cecilia) (red).
Students from these four houses compete against each other in sports, quizzes, debates, music and dance competitions.
