Houses
Upon admission, pupils are placed into one of the four houses in Methodist Girls' School. The selection is random, unless the student currently has any sibling attending the school.
The four houses are Blackmore, Jackson, Lee and Olson. Each house has a Senior Captain (Secondary 4), Junior Captain (Secondary 3), Treasurer, two Level Representatives for each of the respective levels, a Swimming Representative and a Sports Day Representative.
Houses gain points from participation in the annual Inter-House games and swimming meet.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“I cannot go to the houses of my nearest relatives, because I do not wish to be alone. Society exists by chemical affinity, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“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)
