House System
Good Shepherd Christian School has four House Teams: Hunter, Blake, Pike and Bird.
Each House is distinguished by its own colour and unique community spirit. During events, the evident pride shown by students wearing their House colours and supporting their House is contagious.
The inter-house competition grows from strength to strength with many students participating in multiple events and record student numbers attending gala days; all contributing to a healthy House System and competition. House events include swimming, cross country and athletics carnival.
The Houses have been named to honour previous pastors and long standing members of Good Shepherd Baptist Church namely, Pastor Hunter, 1980-1992, Pastor Blake, 1992-1995, Pastor Pike, 1986 - 1993, Philip Bird 1999 - Current.
