The House System at Havant Academy has been designed to reflect the values and ethos of Havant Academy and be an integral part of the school community. Throughout your time at the Academy, you will be given the opportunity to take part in so many fun challenges and become a House Leader, House Captain and House Rep.
The Objectives
The academy provides every pupil in each house with the following:
A sense of belonging within the school community
Opportunities to develop social, intellectual, physical and practical skills
A sense of achievement both inside and outside of the classroom
Fun and excitement through competition
Opportunities for leadership
An awareness of individual and collective responsibility
Congratulations to Issabell Trigg in year 11, who designed our new wonderful logos.

Information about the House System
Along with other events organised throughout the year, the House system is important in raising your aspirations through healthy competition, House assemblies and guest speakers. Raising your aspirations is an essential part of broadening your horizon and making you aware of countless career opportunities that you may wish to pursue.
The House names were decided by the students in a competition to launch the House system. The Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour and Enterprise Houses are based on the NASA Space Shuttles that flew missions between 1981 and 2011. We feel that students should always Challenge themselves to make new Discoveries and Endeavour to be the best they can be in order to live an Enterprising life.
Each House is in competition with each other to achieve the highest number of house points at the end of each term and most importantly by the end of the year, when there will be prizes and trophies to be awarded.
Competitions
Subject teachers come up with a range of competitions every term for all of you to enter. Points are awarded under the following headings:
Academic
Sport
Creative
Community
Pride Points
During lessons, you have the opportunity to win even more points by following the Pride system:
Presentation: Your uniform is correct and your work is well presented showing clear titles, dates etc
Respect: You show respect for each other, your surroundings and yourself
Inspirational: You inspire others through your understanding, your knowledge, your skills and your explanations
Determination: You how resilience in your attitude to work and persevere with tasks no matter the outcome
Excellent Behaviour: You display consistently excellent behaviour in your lessons over a period of time
Rewards
At the end of each term, there is a celebration assembly to award prizes and certificates to the winners of competitions. There is also a House shop that is operated by the senior student team at the end of term where you will be able to exchange your points for items in the Shop. You can also decide to save your points to get bigger items at the end of the year.
Charities
Each year, the new set of Captains and Reps for each House get to choose the Charity they wish to support. They will then get the opportunity to run fund-raising events throughout the year to raise money for their chosen charity.
The House that raises the most funds for their Charity get to win the Charity cup as well as the chance to win extra House points to add to their final tally.
This year the chosen Charites are:
Challenger: Marwell Zoo
Discovery: NHS Charities Together
Endeavour: Off the Record
Enterprise: Mind
