The names, colours and totems for each house, were chosen by the students.(

(See full house descriptions in the right drop down box)The aim of the new house system is to:

  1. Provide a system holistic of all learners therefore including sporting, academic and artistic endeavours.
  2. Promote a positive self-identity, belonging, integrity and pride amongst all students.
  3. Constant and consistent encouragement for students to achieve their best.
  4. Develop a common goal between school staff and students.
  5. Create smaller groups of students
