Each house at Dane Court Grammar School will have various features unique to that house – to identify them, but also for the house to work towards.

We have officially set the ball rolling on creating Tallinn as a house to be proud to belong to. We have taken inspiration from out house colour and chosen the tiger as our mascot. Tallinn house members are now officially Tallinn Tigers!

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest of the four "big cats". Tigers have a lifespan of 10–15 years in the wild, but can live longer than 20 years in captivity. They are highly adaptable and range from the Siberian forests to open grasslands and tropical mangrove swamps.

Three of the nine subspecies of modern tiger have gone extinct, and the remaining six are classified as endangered, some critically so. The primary direct causes are habitat destruction and hunting. As a direct result, today the range of the species is radically reduced. All surviving species are under formal protection, yet poaching and habitat destruction continue to threaten the tigers. You can read more about tigers here.

Our current logo is a roaring tiger head; however, we would like you to give us alternative suggestions and then we will collaboratively decide on which is the logo that should represent our house. You can download copies of the current Tallinn Tigers logo from the following links:
