What's Your Colour? Early Education Students Join HSC's House System
On Thursday, September 8, our youngest HSC Trojans were inducted into our House System!
The Junior School sent students on a "top secret" mission to find out their House, while our Montessori School held a "sorting hat" ceremony to reveal each student's House affiliation. This year every student - including our toddlers - was placed in one of four houses: Cedar/More, Maple/Tay, Pine/Yre or Birch/Earn.

Our students were excited to learn the history of the HSC House System and find out which colour they will wear to rock their house spirit for the rest of their time at the College!
In the Montessori and Junior schools, Houses are an opportunity to connect with other students within the College. Houses are not competitive at this level but rather focus on the buidling of community.
In the Middle School, Co-Captains are voted into office by fellow students in the House and by faculty. Elections are held in June for the next school year.
In the Senior School, Captains must apply through an online system and are voted into offliteraice by fellow students in the House and by Faculty. Students earn points for achievement in academics, activities, service, arts and sports. The number of points depends on the type of activity and the level of involvement, contribution and success. There are awards granted at various levels of point accumulation.
At HSC the House system provides a vertical continuum for the purpose of counselling, special activities and competition. There are several recognitions awarded annually for the Houses contributing the most to the College.
