House System
Mission Statement
The Seisen International School House System aims to foster a sense of belonging, diversity and inclusion, reflecting the ethos of the school. The House System engages all students and staff, empowering them to feel safe, positive and included on all levels through an inter-house community with ownership and leadership. Students are provided with opportunities to lead, build friendships and develop a strong identity as they pledge allegiance to their houses throughout their participation in a wide variety of competitions, events and activities. These initiatives address all individuals’ grit and determination to take on personal and team challenges, embracing a diverse culture across the school.
A House Committee creates and organizes a wide range of inter-House events and activities that strengthens vertical and horizontal relationships.
Our four Houses
Seisen International School has four House teams, with names inspired after Japanese mountains to acknowledge our host nation and honor Japanese culture. The analogy of challenging oneself and having the grit and determination to ‘climb mountains’ to attain our goals serves as a reminder of what being an active participant in House events is all about. House activities include themed dress-up days, Global Mindedness Days, Sports Days, House Picnic Days and divisional student-led events. Participation in these events accrues points throughout the year, and the House with the most points wins the House Cup awarded at the last day of school.
Aims and Objectives
- To build vertical and horizontal community within the school.
- To foster a sense of community through middle and high school advisory groups.
- To regenerate the competitive and collaborative House System and design safe activities for all students to participate in.
