New House Names
The four House names are based on the four elements (earth, air, fire and water) that are considered fundamental to nature and life. We have used ‘Sun’ instead of air. Our House names are the elements that bring life to Templestowe Park PS. These elements represent everyone from different cultures, backgrounds and groups at TPPS.
The House names are written in the language of the Wurundjeri people. The Wurundjeri people are an Aboriginal people of the Woiwurrung language group, in the Kulin nation. They are the traditional owners of the Yarra River Valley, covering much of the present location of Melbourne and Templestowe.
Each House has a native animal as its mascot. We believe that it will provide an Australian animal that our students can relate to. It also brings some fun and enjoyment to our Houses.
From the commencement of Term 2, our students will regularly meet in their House groups and undertake cross-age mentoring activities. We will also collect House points under our new names and the students will represent their House during a range of academic, creative and sporting events.
We are so excited to to launch these new House names at TPPS!
