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 may include:

• Head of House – Staff member
• House Captain – Grade 11, male & a female
• House Vice-captain – Grade 9, male & a female
• House Members – All staff & students

The House leadership team supports House events and activities, encourages participation, and represents the House positively throughout the academic year.

House Points may be awarded for:

Excellence: high standards, strong effort, academic or personal achievement, and consistently high-quality work.

• Respect: kindness, courtesy, consideration, respect for different perspectives, and positive role-modelling.
• Responsibility: ownership of learning and behaviour, reliability, organisation, preparation, and consistent completion of responsibilities.
• Resilience and Persistence: determination, learning from setbacks, and continued effort towards goals.
• Leadership and Teamwork: initiative, positive leadership, cooperation, support, and encouragement of others.
• Confidence and Participation: active participation, willingness to share ideas, taking on challenges, and contributing to school life.
• Community and Sustainability: contribution to service, sustainability, environmental initiatives, and the wider community.

To encourage participation across departments, year groups, and the wider school community, Houses may organise:

• Community service projects
• Sustainability initiatives
• Sports competitions
• Academic competitions
• Cultural activities
• Art competitions
• Fundraising activities
• Staff competitions

Additional activities may be introduced in response to school priorities, student interests, and community engagement opportunities.

The House Point System recognises and rewards positive behaviour, participation, achievement, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and contribution to school life.

Teachers may award House Points through the school’s online system. Every award should include a brief reason so that the recognition is specific and its record remains meaningful over time.

Individual Competitions

• 1st Place — 2 House Points per player
• 2nd Place — 1 House Point per player

Teachers’ House Competition

• 1st Place — 40 House Points
• 2nd Place — 30 House Points

A student’s individual House Points accumulate and are carried over with the student until graduation; they are not reset at the end of each term or year. The school’s online system will calculate House Point totals.

Students reaching 25, 50, 75, and 100 House Points will receive recognition or rewards within their respective sections. House totals will be announced and celebrated through whole-school assemblies.
