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.

By white night-gowns.”

“The spectacle of misery grew in its crushing volume. There seemed to be no end to the houses full of hunted starved children. Children with dysentery, children with scurvy, children at every stage of starvation.... We learned to know that the barometer of starvation was the number of children deserted in any community.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
