We place a high value on learning about working as a team and the benefits of good behavior, so our School House System is an important part of student life at NAISNY.
Your child will join one of the four school houses:
- Pegasus
- Peryton
- Phoenix
- Panlong
Each student is placed in a house, with siblings in the same house. Older students are given the responsibility to serve as House Captains, with one boy House Captain and one girl House Captain for each house.
Throughout the year, students receive points that contribute to the house competitions. Your child will receive house points as rewards for good behavior, good work, and a good attitude.
You can also win extra points for your house through house events:
- Sports Day
- Spelling Bees
- Quizzes
- Parent and Child Competitions
- Creative challenges — such as our “build a world landmark” competition
- Public speaking
- Poetry writing
- Art and design competitions
- Science Fair
Every week, we have a school-wide assembly, where we count the individual house points and announce the winning house for the week. Then, at the end of the year, we count all points, announce the winning house for the year, and distribute awards. There's a wonderful sense of camaraderie generated throughout NAISNY with the house system.
