CHIS House System

A traditional feature of many British schools is the placement of students in groups called Houses. The House system exists mainly to create an atmosphere of healthy competition, leadership and teamwork among students. The House System at CHIS encourages students to work as part of a team and to embrace the concept that it is the taking part that matters.

Students can receive House Points for taking part in House Events held throughout the year for which Houses compete. They cover a wide range of knowledge and skills to ensure that all students can be involved in working towards the success of their team. Houses also gain points for each member that receives a Merit Certificate. Points earned are collated and a House Cup is awarded at the end of the school year.
