Students and staff at Lisarow Public School belong to one of four houses; Anderson, Davidson, Dunk and Reynolds. Each house celebrates the sporting achievements and other talents of its members.
The house system creates smaller communities within the school and gives students a unique sense of "belonging" and identity. Students and staff are brought together for house meetings before major events and current house standings are announced each week during the Friday assembly.
Houses encourage participation in co-curricular activities and promote student leadership. Each house includes students from all year levels as students become members of a house upon commencement at the School. As a general rule, all family siblings are grouped into the same house.
There is a keen but well-natured rivalry between the Houses as they compete for house superiority. Points accumulate from the day to day classroom/school based activities, as well as during various events that are held throughout the year.
