Sports and Traditions
Moss Vale high has a long running tradition of splitting students into four 'houses'. These Houses are colour coded with Carrington(red), Belmore(yellow), Gibraltar(blue) and Morton(green). The house groups compete against each other by accumulating points, where the winner, the house with the most points, is announced at the end of the year.
