School House System

The House names and colours are as follows:

• Normans - red
• Romans - blue
• Saxons - green
• Vikings - yellow

At ISM, we believe that great efforts should be rewarded and recognised. With this in mind, we have a House point system designed to encourage high standards and positive action from our students throughout the year. House points therefore, will only be awarded when students do their very best. There will be no negative actions such as minus house points.

The whole school is involved in the merit system and each teacher, assistant teacher and many administrative staff members will be assigned a House. Each week the total House point scores are collected from both campuses, and a House point shield is awarded to the winning team annually at speech day.

The House system comprises two parts:

• Merit system, where students gain house points for individual awards relating to their progress and efforts in all aspects of school life.
• Inter-house competitions such as sports days, swimming galas, poetry and music competitions.
