CALVERT HOUSE Calvert House is part of the Senior School
House System. Its colour is Maroon. The House System was originally introduced in about 1921 mainly for Sports Competition. One of the original Houses of 1921 was Barwon with Maroon colours. In 1925, its name was changed to Calvert to honour a legendary supporter of the School,
Mr Stanley Hamilton-Calvert. Mr Hamilton-Calvert was a keen supporter of the House Competition and donated a solid silver cup known as the Inter-House Cup for the winners of the House Competition. Barwon first won the House competition in 1923 but the re-named Calvert was not to win the overall House Competition for many years although it won the House Sports in 1932.
The first documented House Captain appears to have been T M Wright in 1930. It is uncertain who the first Calvert House master was.
Notable members of Calvert House have included Olympic javelinist, Rob Grant; neurosurgeon Geoffrey Donnan; businessman and philanthropist Darrell Wade; surf and iron woman, Kirsten Ulmer; AFL footballer, Will Scofield: environmentalist, Lizzy Corke; and actor and comedian, Veronica Milsom.
