In the British style of House system, every student and staff member belongs to a House, a smaller group within the wider school community. The Houses form the foundation for many aspects of school life, including competitions, leadership opportunities, and pastoral care.

Each house consists of following leaders:

• Head of House – Teaching staff
• House Captain – Grade 11 student (1 male)
• House Captain – Grade 11 student (1 female)
• House Vice-captain – Grade 10 student (1 male)
• House Vice-captain – Grade 10 student (1 female)

Each term, every teacher and form tutor will receive 10 House Points to award to any student for, and not exclusive to:

• • • Excellence
    • Respect
    • Responsibility
    • Organisation
    • Resilience
    • Confidence
    • Team Work
    • Persistence
    • or consistently producing superb work in class

Twice per year house points are totalled up, and the ESM House Cup is awarded to the House with the most points. This is done during a school wide lunch where we gather in Houses to acknowledge outstanding, personal and House wide results.

Every Friday, students exchange their house point slips for a token.

House Recognition takes place in House Assemblies during Terms 2 and 4 and House members nominate students for House Recognition and their contributions will be recognised by Heads of House and House Captains.
