Teachers also belong to houses and a single teacher is nominated house advisor for the academic year or team.
Activities such as sports, team games and Tournament of Minds give opportunities to students to excel, learn what healthy competition is about and give meaning to team spirit, essential experience for life in the real world.
Houses also contribute as teams to social outreach programmes and interaction with economically & physically disadvantaged children from our neighborhood and the city.
House appointments provide opportunities for learning the skills of leadership.
