At St. Helen’s College, our House System is at the heart of our community, designed to encourage collaboration, healthy competition and a sense of belonging.
Each child is welcomed into one of our four Houses: Caledonia, Cambria, Hibernia or Windsor. This affiliation remains with them throughout their time at the school, building bonds and creating a strong, supportive network.
Teamwork, events and celebrations
Throughout the year, the House System comes alive with a variety of events, challenges and assemblies designed to develop teamwork, leadership and allow children to forge relationships with other pupils vertically across different year groups.
From sporting competitions and academic challenges to creative arts showcases and charity fundraisers, there’s something for every child to get involved in and a chance for every child to shine.
Our regular House Assemblies allow students to celebrate achievements, share successes and strengthen their ties to their House. Points are awarded for participation, effort and excellence, culminating in the annual presentation of the coveted House Cup.
Through the House System, children not only develop friendships but also learn the values of respect, teamwork, and collective responsibility, ensuring that every child feels an integral part of our vibrant school community.
