sport house...

a sign in the grounds of Balanrring Primary School...
Students in our Australian schools are allocated houses for sport...
Those houses usually are given names which may be significant to the school.
Each house usually has one of 4 colours - red, green blue or yellow.
Students belong to the same house - for competitive purposes - throughout their time at that school...

sport inspires
