House System

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

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.
