House System
The school has benefitted from a fantastic house system. The houses give the students a sense of belonging and pride through participation in feast days, competitions, charity events, department house challenges and much more! Each house is under the patronage of a Saint and the students are encouraged to learn about the life of the Saint.
Each student has a badge identifying their House group. The badges are presented to the incoming Year 7 by their Head of House and belonging to this vertical House group nurtures a sense of belonging and identity. At House assemblies the virtues of the House Saint are promoted and all members of the House are encouraged to emulate the virtues of their patronal Saint.
