At Springfield Central State High School, our school spirit is bigger than just one person—it’s a movement! It’s what brings us together, fuels our competitive edge, and makes every school event unforgettable. Leading the charge is our legendary mascot, Springer the Kangaroo, along with our four powerful school houses: Apollo, Athena, Artemis, and Poseidon.
Meet Springer the Kangaroo
Springer isn’t just a mascot—he’s an icon! Bursting with confidence and school pride, Springer embodies everything we stand for: aspiration, resilience, teamwork, and respect. Whether leading chants at a sports carnival, cheering on house teams, or bringing the energy to school events, Springer is always there to hype up our community.
Our Four Houses
Our school houses give us identity, camaraderie, and a chance to prove who reigns supreme. Each house has its own legendary mascot, inspired by ancient mythology, that represents its values and strengths.
Apollo - The Wolf
Fearless. Fierce. Focused. That’s Apollo. Just like the god of light and music, the Wolf leads with wisdom and strength, always guiding the pack to greatness. Apollo House is about being bold, standing up for each other, and striving for personal bests in everything we do. We run together, we fight together, we win together!
Athena - The Owl
Smart, strategic, and always one step ahead, Athena House channels the wisdom of its patron goddess. Our owl, Sophos (Greek for ‘wise’), reminds us that knowledge is power, and courage is the key to success. Athenian students lead with intelligence and resilience, proving that brains and bravery go hand in hand. Think smart, stay strong, soar high!
Artemis - The Deer
Fast, fearless, and fiercely loyal, Artemis House is all about integrity and resilience. Like the goddess of the hunt, we never back down from a challenge, but we also respect our competition. Our Deer symbolises agility and trust, reminding us to lift each other up while aiming for the top. Run fast, stay humble, win with heart!
Poseidon - The Horse
Powerful, determined, and unstoppable, Poseidon House charges ahead with the strength of the Horse. Inspired by the mighty god of the sea, Poseidon House rides the waves of competition with confidence and perseverance. We face every challenge head-on and never settle for anything less than victory. Ride the tide, embrace the challenge, conquer all!
Show Your House Pride!
Your house isn’t just a name—it’s a legacy. From sports carnivals to academic challenges, every point you earn helps your house get one step closer to victory. So wear your colours with pride, back your team, and bring the energy. Because at Springfield Central, the Springer spirit is unstoppable!
