School Houses
History and background of House System
The House System is a traditional feature of British schools, originating in England. At BIS, each student is assigned to a House upon enrollment, and each House has its own unique symbol, logo, and colour.
Aim of House System in BIS
The House System encourages interaction across year groups, fosters community spirit, strengthens peer mentoring, supports the rewards system, and provides leadership opportunities for students of all ages. It also motivates students to participate in academic, cultural, and sporting competitions.
