School traditions Student leadership At the end of each year, a Year 5 student is elected School Captain for the next year by the student body, and another as Vice Captain. At the beginning of each year, House Captains are elected by the student body. Houses As with most Australian schools, FSPS utilizes a house system. Students are allocated to a house when they enter the school. There are four different houses which students compete under in sports Carnivals and other activities: Argyle (Red) Cumberland (Green) Kent (Blue) Watson (Yellow) All of the houses are named after streets in The Rocks, Sydney.
