Pupils in each class will be placed into these four houses and there will be an equal number of students in each house across the school. Classes will also be divided as far as possible into equal numbers of students. Each house shall be represented by a house captain selected from amongst the students.

The house incharges are selected from amongst the teachers to head each house and to guide the house captains in organizing and carrying out different school events and activities etc.

The Aims of a House system:
We believe that the House System will support our students by achieving the following:

- Respect, consideration and courtesy.
- Positive self esteem amongst students and value of the ethos of the school community.
