Houses
Eirias High School has four Houses. The houses are each named after a Prince of Wales adjoined to the name of a bird. Glyndwr Eagles, Llewelyn Hawks, Madog Kites and Gwynedd Falcons. Students are assigned to a House when joining the school based on their form group, and stay in that house throughout their school career. Each house is assigned colour, yellow, blue, red and green respectively for Eagles, Hawks, Kites and Falcons. There are many interhouse competitions for sports and art.
Uniform
At Eirias High School all students are required to wear full and correct uniform. There are two separate designated uniforms, one for Years 7-11 and one for the Sixth form, as well as regulations on PE kit.
In years 7-11 students must wear black trousers or a black skirt, a white shirt or blouse and a maroon jumper bearing the school crest, black school shoes, black or white socks. A wide variety of ties are worn by students.
One of the school rules that prohibits the wearing of outdoor clothes attracted press attention during the local cold spell in Dec 2010.
PE Kit bears the school crest, and must be purchased through the school, and consists of a while polo short bearing the crest and white shorts for indoor activities, a red/black rugby short, long black socks and black shorts for boys and black jogging bottoms or games skirt and a red sweatshirt for girls for outdoor activities.
Sixth form uniform is identical to the uniform worn by students in year 7-11, except with a black jumper and sixth form tie. The sixth form tie is similar to the sports tie, except the diagonal stripe bearing the dragon emblem is an outline and is not filled solidly.
YouTube Data Protection Breach
In December 2010, a teacher at the school uploaded a video onto a school-owned account on the video-sharing website YouTube. The video was a screen recording of him demonstrating using the school's management system to record a behaviour incident, and included the name, home address, parents' contact details, photograph and confidential records of attendance and behaviour for a year 11 boy at the school.
The video went unnoticed until January 31, 2011, when complaints were submitted by an anonymous individual simultaneously to the school's governors, Conwy County Borough Council education authority, General Teaching Council for Wales, Department for Education and the Information Commissioner's Office; the video was removed. Local television covered the story heavily and the boy's family received an apology and the investigation by the ICO resulted in a formal warning on the condition the school improved its data security arrangements.
