SCHOOL LIFE: House System
The school is divided into four house teams, represented by distinct colours and named after Nobel Prize Winners: Winston Churchill (yellow), Marie Curie (red), Martin Luther King (blue), and Michael Smith (green). Every child, faculty and staff member, with the exception of Principals and the Head, is assigned to a house; siblings are always in the same house. House pins are distributed to all new students free of charge when they join the school. Subsequent pins can be purchased from the office for $5 each.
House competitions and events are arranged in the Junior and Upper Schools throughout the year. Two House Captains from Grades 11 or 12 are selected in September to promote spirit and lead each house in its goal to win the House Cup!
In the Junior School, two House Captains are chosen for each house, after a competition each Fall whereby interested students present speeches to their peers and a panel of teachers. These leaders will promote spirit and make plans to raise money to help our sponsored children in the SOS Children's Village in Galle, Sri Lanka.
