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:
“This is the end, the redemption from Wilderness, way for the
Wonderer, House sought for All, black handkerchief washed clean by
weeping—page beyond Psalm—Last change of mine and Naomi—to Gods perfect Darkness—Death, stay thy phantoms!”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
