Hostel and Houses
The boys were accommodated in six hostel blocks. Each hostel is supervised by a teacher-warden who lives in the warden’s flat in the same building. To look after the discipline and the well being of the boys in the hostels, the warden is helped by prefects appointed from the more senior boys.
Each hostel is identified as a “House” named after a colour: Green, Blue, Black, Red, White and Yellow. The house system promotes cooperation and esprit de corp among the boys in the same house and provides competition in games, athletics, and debates.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
