In our school we have four houses; Bruce, Douglas, Murray and Wallace. We elect a captain and vice captain for each house in September and January. Learners are able to earn points for their house through displaying our school values. The points are collated monthly and announced at assembly. The winning house then receives one of three rewards (chosen by a randomiser). These rewards were chosen at the beginning through a survey sent out to the wider school.
In the fourth term of each year we hold our Sports Day. As a part of sports day we hold a House Sports Challenge. Where possible we ask learners to wear of T-shirt showing their house colours. We all compete to win the House Sports Trophy.
Each of our Houses has their own motto;
- Bruce Proud and True
- Douglas Loyal and Strong
- Murray Strong and Confident Learners
- Wallace Responsible, Reliable, Respectful Role Models
Our House System helps to develop team work skills amongst our learners and provides our senior learners with the opportunity to participate in the interviewing and campaigning process to become elected. They then have a responsibility to support our learners across the school by modelling our school values.
