Objectives of House System
Inter-house competitions are held from time to time to inculcate the qualities of leadership, healthy competition, and team spirit in the students. The houses are named after four colors.
The House system has numerous benefits. It is designed to encourage and increase competition between students and to create a supportive environment. Throughout the year, the four houses, The Red Lions, The Blue Unicorns, The Green Stags, and The Yellow Griffins will compete for points for the House Cup at the end of the school year.
The House system has manifold advantages. It provides an increased feeling of identity and belonging, and students develop a sense of tradition and get to take advantage of it. There will be constant encouragement for the students to do their best. As a matter of fact, the positive attitude of students towards one another and towards the school will galvanize.
Each year, new house captains will be selected from the students, and they will be excited about their position and will carry the banner forward for their houses.
Another important benefit is the leadership opportunity this will generate for the students. Each house will have captains who, under teacher guidance, will be entirely in charge of organizing students' participation in special events like Sports Day, Cultural Week, and so on.
Points will be awarded based on the following categories:
