House System

In September 2025, we launched a new House System.

The Houses were named suitably based on the Catholic ethos and essence of our college. 

The Houses are as follows:

Sister Clare: Value - 'Service'

Saint Patrick: Value - 'Courage'

Saint Brigid: Value - 'Leadership'

Saint Carlo Acutis - 'Belief'

House Captains

There is an application process to become a House Captain. The House Captains participate in organising, promoting and running events. House Captains have regular meetings, give information and work with teachers and pupils to ensure that the essence of all the Houses is a prominent feature in the college community. 

The House Captains are:

What Do The Houses Do?

The Houses are an important part of our college communityand they form a focus of school life in many ways such as academic, social, sporting, leadership and responsibilities. Each House will be responsible for co-ordinating fund raising efforts to raise money. 

House Competitions

House Competitions are run by subject departments and the House coordinators and contribute to the overall yearly winners by giving out House Points to the winners. We have competitions such as a Maths Challenge, a Spelling Bee, PE competitions, , a Drama Competition etc  The culmination is reached at Sports Day, where more points are won in each event, the overall house point total calculated and the winning House announced.

The House Shield

The ultimate prize is the House Shield. Each year, the four houses will compete for the prestigious House Shield. . This prize is given to the House that accumulates the most points in various diverse competitions. 

Benefits Of The House System

The House System supports our pupils and some of the ways this is achieved are:

-Fostering respect, consideration and courtesy throughout the college community.
-Encouraging positive self-esteem amongst students and promoting the values and ethos of the college community.
-Providing opportunities to obtain the essential life skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing society.
-Providing chances for equality of opportunities as well as encouragement so that pupils can realise their full God given potential.
-The promotion of pupil responsibilities, leadership skills and collaboration.
-The development of pupils’ personal and social skills and well-being.
-Ensuring our college is a college that Pupils, Parents/Guardians, Staff, Governors and the Wider Community can be justly proud of.
