House Championship
Why do we have a house system?
The House system acts as a link between different year groups in school, providing you with the opportunity to work together and compete against your peers. It encourages and fosters teamwork, leadership skills and sportsmanship in all areas of school life. The sense of community within each of the houses encourages a feeling of identity and belonging.
How do you allocate student houses?
Every student and staff member entering the school is allocated one of our six Houses. These are named after PROUD PRESTONIANS past and present. You will quickly form loyalties to your House and achieve a true sense of belonging. Your school jumpers are embroidered with your house names and your Brothers and Sisters will always be placed in the same house as you.
How can I earn House Points?
You can contribute to your house totals in several ways:-
Behaviour
1 Merit = 1 House Point | 1 De-Merit = -1 House Point
The number of De-Merits a house receives is deducted from the number of Merits a house is awarded. The number remaining is turned into house points and added to the scoreboard.
For example 76 Merits – 5 De-Merits = 71 House Points
BOOST
Attending a BOOST Club = 1 House Point
House Competitions
By taking part in house competitions you will gain extra points for your house.
5 House Points per entry
25 House points for the top 5 students/winners
