Houses

Our house system helps build a sense of community through encouraging friendly competition, camaraderie and co-operation. It mixes students and staff from all year levels of the school together.

Each student and staff member belongs to one of four houses. The houses are named after the four main roads that border the school block. Each house has a colour associated with it:
Chatsworth - Rōpū Kikorangi/Kahurangi (blue)
Whitemans - Rōpū Kōwhai (yellow)
Gloucester - Rōpū Karaka (orange)
Gard - Rōpū Kākāriki (green)

Students represent their house in a number of activities and events throughout the year. These include sports events, lunchtime competitions, as well as participation in our annual House Day.  We also have fun together during House Week and during our end of year Christmas celebrations. On house event days we encourage children to wear something in their house colour. Whanau often dress in house colours at our events too. It's great to have support from all the family.

We can earn points for our house when showing our school values during class time. We are also really good at our house chants.

At the end of the year the house trophy is awarded to the winning house. Gard currently hold this trophy.
