Our Houses
KGV has a strong house system that infuses many aspects of the school. It is designed to give students an identity and sense of pride in a supportive, secure environment. The Houses provide for positive competition and a closer rapport between students and teachers. The House system is an integral and vibrant part of the school’s culture.
Tutor groups are organised by houses and students feel a strong sense of community and loyalty to their houses.
There are 4 houses:
Crozier (Green)
Nightingale (Yellow)
Rowell (Blue)
Upsdell (Red)
The Inter house competition runs from January to December and involves many events every term. The four houses compete for house points with the leading house becoming the overall winner of the Inter house Cup.
House captains work hard to lead and encourage all members of the school to take part in the healthy competitive spirit that the Inter house Cup brings. The houses provide not only an increased feeling of identity and belonging, they also provide students with a sense of tradition and abundant leadership opportunities.
House Captains
Students can apply to become House Captains. Two Captains and four Deputy/Vice Captains are elected from each house. The job of the House Captains is to take responsibility for the leadership and organisation of their house throughout the forthcoming year. In addition, eight Year 10 to 11 student representatives (two per House) and eight Year 9 student representatives (two per House) are elected to support the House Captains.
Inter house Events
We have many Inter house events that take place throughout the year; all competitions give the students the opportunity to win house points.
