The school House System was inaugurated at the Sports/Fun Day in June 2004.

Pupils are allocated to Houses from Nursery. They stay in the House as allocated throughout their time at Colegio Gran Bretaña. All family members are put into the same House, i.e. parents, children and siblings.

There are four Houses named after mythological creatures – Griffin (green), Pegasus (white), Phoenix (red) and Minotaur (blue). These names were chosen by the students. There is a House Captain and Vice-Captain of each House in Primary and Secondary. All teachers are allocated a House, with one teacher in each Section who coordinates House activities.

The House System is key to keep the CGB values and qualities alive, and to reinforce in our students and teachers the sense of cooperation and teamwork, which makes us a unique institution. During the school year, we will be doing Sports Days, Inter-house competitions, or just going “above and beyond” in the lessons to earn house points.

Pupils are awarded House Points for positive reasons such as academic achievement, effort, improvement, kindness, amongst others.

There is a termly House Point competition. During Flag Raising Ceremonies, the running totals for each House are read out along with the current ranking. 

At the end of the year Flag Raising, an annual trophy will be presented to the House with the most points. There are also trophies for the winning House of the annual Inter-House competitions throughout the year.

House shirts are required for each student to have, and to be worn during house matches. These can be acquired at Jubalai, our uniform provider. The house shirt can be worn with the tracksuit.
