Students are placed in to one of three factions: Mead (Red), Paterson (Blue) and Wallace (Yellow). The origin of the faction names are:

Mead – Henry Mead arrived in the Whitby area in 1846 and established prosperous properties in Manjedal, Medulla and Korribinjal. The windmill logo on Mead Faction T-shirts celebrates this pioneer farmer.
