House

The House system is a fundamental aspect of daily life in the Middle School.

Each of the four Houses - Akiva, Ezra, Herzl and Hillel - has a Middle School House Patron who is responsible for planning and coordinating House activities and for encouraging active participation in activities.

All Middle School students are encouraged and expected to participate in House activities. All House activities and carnivals contribute to the awarding of the House trophy to the winning House at the end of each academic year.

There are an evergrowing number of House activities which the students may participate in. These include:

Athletics Carnival
Basketball
Cake Decorating
Catapult Making
Cross Country Carnival
Jewish Studies Quizzes
Netball
Ready, Steady, Cook
Rocket Building
Swimming Carnival
Talent Quest
Tapauwai
Volleyball
Yom Ha'atzmaut Mini Maccabiah

House activities are an integral aspect of the Middle School in assisting to create identity and build both House and school spirit.

It is through active participation in House activities that students demonstrate commitment to and love of their school.
