House From Your House The benefits of House are many. It helps build camaraderie and teamwork, promotes a sense of belonging, and encourages girls to push beyond their comfort zone. At Toorak, the pride our girls show for their houses can be heard each time they sing the school song.

House events are an integral part of life at Toorak as girls dress up, chant, and strive to give their best for their house. The memories made and connections formed last a lifetime, which is why, during our remote and online program, we introduced a way to continue House from home. Each week a challenge was set for girls to complete in their own time and earn house points. One point for participation and three points if they dressed up in their house colours! Be it a 3km cross-country, baking and decorating a cake, or learning a new dance, girls proved that being at home would not get in the way of the 2020 House competition.
