House System

After registration is complete, each student will be assigned to a house and is expected to participate in all house related activities.  The four houses are named after four (4) house patrons, who annually contribute to our school’s sporting programme.   

  • Nicholson – Yellow   
  • McBeth – Blue
  • Lee – Green
  • Henry – Red

     

The purpose of the House System is to provide a forum to build camaraderie, while providing an avenue for healthy competition in athletics and academics.

     

Some athletic activities included in the inter-house competition are:

  • Cheerleading and dance
  • Track events, sprint middle distant, and long distant races
  • Basketball competition, Football and netball competition
  • Field Events: long jump, high jumps, shot put and discus.
  • Some Inter-House Academic Competitions are:
  • Debate competition and
  • Skills competitions e.g. Inter-house cook-off
  • House worship is usually held on Thursdays and houses meet in designated areas.
