House system

As with most Australian schools, Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School uses a house system. Students are divided into six houses, named after characters and places in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe .

The school awards points to each house, based on house-wide achievements in a number of fields including sports and debating. Individuals can also earn points for their house for their own individual achievements. These points are cumulated at the end of the year, and the winning house is announced at the School's "Celebration Night".
