At John Therry, students have an incredibly strong sense of pride in their House. The four Houses at John Therry are Chisholm, Murray, Conolly and Ryan.
The simplest way a student can earn points for their House is through the Green Stamp system. Students are awarded Green Stamps by staff for a number of different reasons (for example: conduct, academic rigour, consistent good behaviour). Each Green Stamp is tallied by the Learning Mentors each Monday morning during Learning Group. The House Captains collect this data and this is tallied in conjunction with the Pastoral Coordinators. On top of this, during the weekly Friday A School Assembly, the name of one student from each House (who has earned the most amount of Green Stamps for that week in their Learning Group) is pulled out in a raffle draw. These students earn a Canteen Voucher for their achievements.
There are many other means for students to earn points for their House. These include:
