Within our Secondary School, the vertical Home Group pastoral care system plays a crucial role, encompassing and nurturing the wellbeing of every student by fostering their spiritual, emotional, social and academic development.
The pastoral care of each student is nurtured through our signature Find Your North Wellbeing framework, House membership, and vertical Home Group structures that strengthen student wellbeing at TLC. When students enrol at TLC, there is a saying, “Which House Will Choose You?”, students then have a home away from home while at the College.
Meet our Heads of House:
Kittabilla House
Kittabilla is a regal and powerful lion named Scar. Scar is surrounded by the light emanating from the centre of our crest. In addition to the intense features and the light that surrounds the mane, a battle scar is etched onto Scar’s eye to represent the challenges that are thrown our way, which makes a person (or lion) stronger. “WE ARE THE MANE EVENT”
Kumbarchu House
Kumbarchu’s mascot is a highly ferocious bear named Kumba. Despite his fierce appearance with red eyes and a formidable presence, Kumba is actually a gentle, tree-hugging mammal at heart. Kumba wears the hoop pine from our crest around his neck. “GRIT AND TEAR, BEWARE THE BEAR”
Nyani House
Our Nyani mascot as an owl named Vulcan who has a very intense stare and flames emerging from their neck feathers. With piercing eyes and blazing red flames, Vulcan absolutely represents our desire for learning and growth. “IN THE HEART OF THE FIRE”
Tabbil House
Our Tabbil mascot is a manta ray named Morty. Morty is a truly mesmerising sea creature. As one of the ocean’s most fascinating and majestic beings, Morty represents the beauty and wonder of life. “SWIFT AS THE TIDE, STRONG AS THE SEA”
