Co-curricular Activities
While Whitgift School has one of the finest academic results in the country, it also pays substantial importance to co-curricular activities within the school life. This is reflected in the sporting facilities as well as an array of musical activities. The school also has a highly developed Design Technology suite, over ten computer rooms, and two libraries.
The houses at Whitgift play an important role in the co-curricular activities of the students. The eight houses and their colours are Andrew's (purple), Brodie's (pink), Cross's (red), Dodd's (silver), Ellis's (light blue), Mason's (royal blue), Smith's (gold) and Tate's (green). The Houses are named after former headmasters, headboys and founding Housemasters. Each House has a Housemaster or Housemistress, house captain and vice-captain and House Prefects. Some of the Houses have form representatives. All the House representatives have a special House-tie with the house colour on it.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
