HOUSES, SHIRTS & POINT SYSTEM
In British schools, a longstanding tradition is the House system, which plays a vital role in fostering pastoral care and encouraging healthy competition among students. At KIS there are four Houses in both the primary and secondary levels. The term “House” refers to a grouping of students, creating a sense of community and belonging. This structure not only enhances student support but also promotes teamwork and camaraderie as students participate in various activities and competitions throughout the academic year.
