House System
There are three inter houses and students are randomly divided among them at the time of admission. The houses, named after important personalities in Pakistan's history, are: Jinnah (blue), Liaquat (red) and Iqbal (yellow).
Every year, two captains or student councils for each house are elected to represent the student body. These captains are elected by students and only students from grade 11 can be elected. Nomination is based on academics, community involvement, behaviour and popularity in school.
In addition to leading their respective houses, the student council maintains discipline around the campus. Unlike a political system, the student council has no power and cannot vote on decisions made by the school itself.
Inter school sports days are part of the yearly activities at FPS. Students compete in sports related activities and represent their respective houses. The house with the most points wins the annual sports trophy.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
