The House System
Boarders live in spacious dormitories of various Houses — Primary Houses (I–V), Junior Houses (VI & VII) and Senior Houses (VIII to XII).
Senior & Junior Houses are looked after by Housemasters — senior members of the teaching staff — who look after welfare, discipline and academic progress and stay in close touch with parents. Junior and Primary houses are cared for by experienced full-time matrons.
The house system fosters healthy rivalry in academics, sports and co-curricular activities, and promotes family atmosphere, team spirit and responsibility.
Inter House Competitions
Inter House matches for different age groups are held in all disciplines of sports and games.
The Annual Aquatic Meet, Athletic Meet and Sports Day are highlights of the year.
The House which tops the overall tally is awarded the coveted “Cock House Cup”; the House which excels in academics receives the “Academic Cup”.

House Tutors help students attain academic excellence, sensitise them to the environment and community, and cope with various emotional experiences.
