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:
“Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
