House System

Traf girls are fiercely loyal to their assigned houses. This well-loved tradition was born of an effort to create a sense of unity between students in different grades, and has remained a cornerstone of Traf’s sense of family.

And what would houses be without their defining features? When the system was created in Traf’s 50th year, each faction thought up a colour, motto, and namesake to embody their uniqueness and spirit. Under the house system, girls are awarded points for participation and helpfulness, among other positive contributions. Four major competitions occur annually: House Carnival in the fall, inter-house volleyball in December, the annual play competition, and Field Day.
