The House System

The House System

The House system is an integral part of life at IPS, designed to foster a sense of competition and fun through various school-based activities.

Throughout their time at IPS, all students are assigned to one of four houses, each named after a historical explorer; reflecting our school’s mission to inspire our students to become pioneers. Each house is represented by a colour:

  • Christopher Columbus: Green
  • Vasco da Gama: Red
  • Amerigo Vespucci: Yellow
  • Marco Polo: Blue

House events are held throughout the year, with points awarded for each event (see calendar).

In addition to the scheduled events, students can earn points through their day-to-day work and conduct. Both staff and students are encouraged to organise events or competitions for the entire school or specific year groups. These events can aim to raise awareness about a particular subject or be linked to international or awareness campaigns.
