When a student enters the school, he or she is placed in one of four houses: Armstrong, Columbus, Fleming and Hillary. Throughout the academic year, these houses compete in a number of competitions, in and outside the classroom, across different age categories. House points are accumulated and, at Founders’ Day, the overall house champions, from both the Junior and Senior School, are announced.

As well as promoting healthy competition and unearthing new talent in the school, the house system generates a terrific spirit within the community and encourages students to consider others in all their endeavours. House Captains are appointed every year to foster house spirit and to ensure that all house members feel included.
