What is a "House"
A house is like a team or family within the overarching school community. Each student is assigned to a house when they are enrolled in school, and usually are assigned to the specific house throughout their years at South Bay Christian School.
Purpose
The house system serves several purposes:
Community & Belonging: Helps students feel part of a smaller, close-knit group.
Competition: Houses compete against each other in sports, academics, arts, and other activities (e.g., “House Points,” “Sports Day,” “Quiz Competitions”).
Pastoral Care: Some schools use houses for mentoring, tutoring, and student welfare, with staff called “House Tutors” or a “Head of House.”
Leadership: Older students may become “House Captains” or “Prefects,” giving them leadership responsibilities.
House Points
Students earn points for good behavior, academic achievement, sports, etc. At the end of the term or year, the house with the most points might win a trophy or other reward.
