Howick College has six houses which are headed and mentored by a Dean. Students usually stay in the same house throughout their time at school.

Each house is divided up into 11 tutor groups made up of students from each year level. This house and tutor system helps to create a sense of belonging and community within the school.  Throughout the year,  fundraising events are organised by students within the houses to support local charities.

The names of the houses at Howick College reflect the history of the Howick area.
