The house system and house competitions build community spirit and help younger students integrate into secondary school life through social interaction and bonding. Older students have the opportunity to learn important leadership skills that can be used later in their tertiary education and/or workplace. The house system also allows students to learn the importance of teamwork and to build on their leadership skills.
As part of the house system, students take part in inter-house competitions where the houses compete as teams against each other in various events. Points are allocated to each house at the end of every competition as students vie for the enviable position of the winning house at the end of the year.
Each house has a housemaster who is the pastoral care teacher for the students in the house. There are also deputy and assistant housemasters who assist in the house.
