Houses
There are 3 houses with their own colours: Eagle (red), Falcon (blue) & Osprey (yellow). The houses compete for house points throughout the year. 'House Points' are given to students for exemplary classwork or in extra-curricular activities. At the end of the year, the houses compete during 'Sports Day', and the overall year winning house is announced.
Inter-house competitions have been played which include cricket, rugby and more.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“Do you see how the god always hurls his bolts at the greatest houses and the tallest trees. For he is wont to thwart whatever is greater than the rest.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“Hast ever ben in Omaha
Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
Where four strong horses scarce can draw
An empty wagon through the town?
Where sand is blown from every mound
To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
Where all the steamboats are aground,
And all the houses are afloat?...
If not, take heed to what I say,
You’ll find it just as I have found it;
And if it lies upon your way
For God’s sake, reader, go around it!”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
