Upon starting at Koo Wee Rup Secondary College, students are allocated to one of the Four Houses for sports and carnival events.

• Bass (Blue)
• Flinders (Red)
• Mawson (Green)
• Sturt (Yellow)

The houses are each named after Australian explorers (George Bass, Matthew Flinders, Douglas Mawson and Charles Sturt).

All students are given the opportunity to compete in the House Swimming, Cross Country (Y7-9) and Athletics. Winners of these House competitions will advance to Interschool Division Competitions.

Each year, students in each house are also given the opportunity to compete in the Leonie McGinley Annual Music Festival.
