House system Network utilises a house system, in which students are sorted into four different houses with distinct colours upon admission:
Ruby house (Red) Emerald house (Green) Sapphire house (Yellow) Diamond house (White)
This house system is implemented during Network's in-school academic competitions, sporting events, and its house-points reward system. Siblings attending Network are sorted into corresponding houses. There is a house trophy awarded at the end of the year for each winning house.
