WHY DO WE HAVE HOUSE SCORING?
WHY DO WE HAVE HOUSE SCORING?
Every contribution counts.
Every contribution counts.
Every challenge helps us grow.
Every challenge helps us grow.
House points encourage us to take part, embrace healthy competition and keep improving. They recognise our shared effort and challenge us to raise our standards—in performance, teamwork and sportsmanship.
The House Cup gives us a goal to work towards, but the journey matters just as much: trying something new, supporting others and growing together. Every event is a chance to contribute, learn and take pride in our House.
