SCHOOL HOUSES |
|
|
The House system, introduced in 1922, fosters school spirit, a strong sense of community and is a source of immense enjoyment and friendly rivalry among the students across the year levels. All students belong to a House. Our six Houses are named after prominent Cantabrians: Connon (white), Deans (yellow), Harper (red), Rolleston (blue), Selwyn (green) and Sheppard (purple). Highlights of the calendar include the annual swimming and athletic sports, lip sync and numerous competitive events such as House choir, netball and ripper rugby. House chants, creative costumes and hard-fought relays are the stand-out features of the annual whole school sports days. The Houses also emphasise service. An annual Can-Drive for the City Mission and one other school-wide House charity are essential components of the House system. |
