The House System in The Asian School
The House System engages all students and staff, empowering them to feel safe, positive and included on all levels through an inter-house community with ownership and leadership. Students are provided with opportunities to lead, build friendships and develop a strong identity as they pledge allegiance to their houses throughout their participation in a wide variety of competitions, events and activities. These initiatives address all individuals’ grit and determination to take on personal and team challenges, embracing a diverse culture across the school.
The house system at The Asian School is based on the idea of creating smaller, more intimate communities within the larger school environment. Each house is typically named after a significant figure or landmark, adding a sense of identity and pride to the students belonging to that particular house. Students remain in the same house throughout their time at the school, allowing them to form strong bonds with their fellow housemates and faculty members.
The house system at The Asian School offers numerous benefits to both students and the school community as a whole. One of the key advantages is the promotion of camaraderie and teamwork among students. By participating in inter-house competitions, students learn the value of cooperation and sportsmanship while also developing a sense of loyalty and pride in their house.
One of the most exciting aspects of the house system at The Asian School is the opportunity for houses to compete against each other in various events and activities. Sports competitions, such as the annual sports day, provide a platform for students to showcase their skills and represent their house with pride. Other competitions, including debating contests and charity drives, allow students to demonstrate their talents and make a positive impact within the school community.
In addition to fostering a sense of community and healthy competition, the house system at The Asian School also rewards students for their academic achievements and good behavior. Merit points are awarded to students for excelling in academics, displaying exemplary conduct, and participating in extracurricular activities. These points are tallied up for each house, creating a friendly rivalry that motivates students to strive for excellence in all areas of their school life.
