    House System

    Introduction

    The School provides healthy environment to the students where they can have a better understanding of the competitive world. The concept of house system is an integral part of every school aiming at holistic development of students. It forms the basis of all competitions in the school. Therefore the school has segregated the students in various groups which are named as “Houses” In an endeavor towards grooming of students, the entire school community is divided into four Houses. Each child from grade 1 onwards is initiated into the house system and is placed in a House and is gradually introduced to the ethos of the school.

    Aims and objectives

    The aim of the House system is to inculcate and develop the qualities of leadership, public speaking & organizational skills, team spirit, commitment, loyalty, a sense of belonging ,sharing and healthy competition among the students through various inter house competitions and school functions. The House system plays a pivotal role in the conduct of cultural and co – curricular activities in the school.

    House-Roles and Responsibility

    All the Houses shall perform the following duties by rotation:

    •   To conduct the Morning Assembly
    •   To deliver the “Thought” in the form of a short speech in the Morning Assembly.
    •   To help in maintaining order and discipline during the arrival, recess period and dispersal.
    •   To participate enthusiastically in all Intra-House and Inter-House contests.

    System

    All students are allocated one of the four Houses - Each House is led by a House Captain, House Vice-Captain and Sports Coordinator. These student leaders perform their duties under the guidance of their respective House Masters and Assistant House Masters, who are teachers.

    Houses may compete with one another at sports and maybe in other ways, thus providing a focus for group loyalty. A secondary feature of house systems is the competition between houses. Throughout the session, different Inter-House Competitions and Activities are conducted for the overall development of the students. Such activities enhance the mental, intellectual and spiritual development. The students get an opportunity to showcase their hidden talent in different fields.

    The winners of the competitions are appreciated and awarded for further encouragement and participation with enthusiasm. Points are awarded to students throughout the year for Co-Curricular Activities, Sports Tournaments & Discipline through Inter House Competitions in Sports, Debates, Quiz, and Arts & Music. At the end of the academic session, the house gaining the highest points is awarded the running trophy based on the cumulative score of Assembly points, inter-house activities and display board decoration done throughout the academic year

    Participation is encouraged in various inter-house competitions in creative and performing arts, literary activities, academics along with sports and co-curricular events, thereby, developing confidence in the members of the house to showcase their talents and abilities.

    The school has the following four houses:

    School Clubs

    All-round development means mental, physical, psychological, spiritual and vocational development. We cannot achieve this all-round development by following mere class room teaching-learning procedures. Here the relevance of Club Activities becomes prominent. It is one of the co-curricular activities that are gaining much importance these days. These activities are mostly voluntary for students.

    Clubs at schools enhance learning through interaction and discussion. Every activity carried out by the club will encourage students to cultivate a different perception of life. Students get an opportunity to showcase and groom their talents. Activities conducted in schools not only benefit in shaping their interests and hobbies but also develop their leadership and social skills.

    For multi-faceted development of students as well as to supplement or to say to ensure the application of the content/subject taught there are some activities in every subject which are termed as the club activities. Clubs help the students to learn new skills and engage in different activities

    Every student of school is to be a member of at least one club. Similarly every teacher will be attached to any one of the clubs.
