School Houses
School Houses @ Chilwell PS
Upon arrival at Chilwell, all students are placed in one of four houses…
Bareena Green
Marnock Red
Riversdale Yellow
Balyang Blue
Our houses compete against each other at sporting events throughout the year, such as our athletics and cross-country. These events allow our students to come together and show their team spirit by dressing in their house colours and singing their house songs. Recently the student house leaders have come together to organise ‘House Activities Day’ that will be held every fortnight, giving a chance to practice mindfulness and get to know the other students in older or younger year levels. We believe that the house system encourages students to do their best, if not for their own sake, then for the sake of their house!
At the beginning of the year, two year 6 students from each house are nominated to be the house captains for the year. It is a great opportunity for our Year 6 students to practise their organisation and leadership skills so they are ready for the challenges to come in high school. This year we’d like to introduce you to our captains…

Riversdale
As the Riversdale House Leader, I am looking forward to learning about leadership and being the leader.
Riversdale is the best because we have the best mascot and great leaders.
Rumbling Riversdale!

Riversdale
I am excited to be leading House activities. I am looking forward to leading and supporting Riversdale in house Cross Country, Athletics and The Swimming Carnival. I also can’t wait to make Riversdale the best it can be. I hope that Riversdale will have the best year, and that we will try our best and be the loudest cheerers to show our support.
I think that what’s great about Riversdale is that even though we don’t win all of the time, we always try our best and never give up. We help others when they have fallen down or just aren’t feeling right. We are kind and respectful towards our fellow peers and teachers. We also show amazing sportsmanship, not just only our own house but to other houses as well.
Remarkable and Right Riversdale!
