School Houses

On enrolment all pupils are placed into one of our four school houses -

• Kowhai - gold
• Pohutakawa - red
• Kauri - green
• Koromiko - blue

The house system is to encourage interaction between senior, middle and junior pupils and provides a platform for leadership skills to develop in our Year 6 pupils as they take up "house captain"  roles.  Families are grouped in the same houses.

In the spirit of house competition, there is a series of events planned between the houses including athletics, cross country, house sports day and a classroon competition.

Chhildren can earn (and lose!) poins for their house for a wide range of activities including:

• returning newsletter slips (making an extra effort)
• assisting each other, teachers, parent helpers (demonstrating consideration)
• being well mannered and maintaining self control (good behaviour)
• exhibiting house "spirit" (co-operation, reliability)
• caring for class/school environment.
