House System

The House System is an integral part of school life, designed to foster teamwork, leadership, and a sense of belonging among students. Under this system, students are grouped into different houses, each with its own name, identity, and motto. These houses serve as smaller communities that encourage collaboration, school spirit, and healthy competition.

The system promotes holistic development by involving students in academics, sports, cultural events, and community service. Each house is led by a House Captain and faculty mentors who guide and support students. This leadership structure encourages students to take initiative, develop organizational skills, and build confidence. The House System also functions on a points-based system, where houses earn points through their performances in various activities. At the end of the academic year, the house with the highest score is awarded the prestigious House Trophy.

Beyond competition, the House System nurtures friendships across different age groups and strengthens school culture. It helps students develop essential life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and discipline. By encouraging active participation and fostering a sense of unity, the House System plays a vital role in shaping students into well-rounded individuals while making school life more engaging and meaningful.
