Houses
Trinity Anglican School, in a tradition common to many schools in Britain and Commonwealth countries, has a house system that groups students across age- and academic-levels for certain co-curricular activities. Cultural, academic, and sporting activities are, in-part, channeled and encouraged through house involvement, and achievement rewarded by group recognition. The four houses of TAS and their corresponding colours are, Milne – yellow / gold; Halabi – red; Simpson – green; and Phibbs – blue. They are named after four prominent legends who graduated in the Glory Days.
