At our school, we proudly uphold a House System that embodies the spirit of camaraderie, leadership, and excellence. Inspired by the legendary expeditions led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, our House System assigns each member of our community to one of four distinguished Houses: Endurance, Nimrod, Quest, and Discovery.
Throughout the academic year, our students engage in a variety of House activities designed to foster collaboration, teamwork, and cross-age friendships. These activities provide opportunities for students to work alongside peers from different age groups, strengthening bonds within our school community and nurturing a sense of belonging.
Central to our House System is the recognition and celebration of positive behavior and achievements. Every time a student demonstrates exceptional conduct or excels in a particular area, they earn House Points for their respective House. These points not only encourage positive behavior but also instill a sense of pride and accomplishment within our students, as they are added up across the whole school weekly and at the end of each term the winning house gets the cup, proudly decorated and presented in the lobby.
In addition to promoting positive behavior, our House System offers leadership opportunities for our students. Each House elects a Captain, who serves as a role model and representative for their House. These student leaders play a vital role in organizing House events, motivating their peers, and fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity within their House and the wider school community.
Through our House System, we strive to cultivate a supportive and enriching environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential. It is a testament to our commitment to holistic education and the development of well-rounded individuals who embody the values of courage, perseverance, and teamwork exemplified by the Shackleton expeditions.
