For the last 9 years, the Edron has had a house system in place. The four houses, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales have been created to foster healthy competition, to encourage involvement and participation and to recognize effort and achievement which go beyond that which is expected of each student.

Students are allocated to each house randomly in our ‘sorting hat’ ceremony. Students with a particular link to one of the four houses will be allocated to that house. Brothers and sisters automatically go into the same house.

All students in years 5-13 belong to a house and all are encouraged to participate in the various competitions which run throughout the year.

These competitions are as varied as football, drama, music, chess, dodgeball, photography and ‘twister’. We believe that through these competitions, students learn such important life lessons as winning and losing well, responsibility for their team members and commitment.
 

Housepoints are given to students who make a significant effort, who show kindness and consideration to others, who achieve above what is expected of them or who generally go beyond the norm. Certificates and prizes are awarded throughout the year.

At the end of each academic year the winning house is rewarded with a special trip.
