The JSR Houses
JSR’s six Houses are the foundation of our Pastoral Care system, bringing students and staff together in Durham, Kelmscott, Newbury, Parmelia, Roebourne and Sandleford. The House system nurtures belonging, pride and connection to school life, while honouring the history of our school and its namesake, John Septimus Roe, Western Australia’s first surveyor.
