STUDENT HOUSES & INTRAMURAL GAMES

 

House Leagues are designed to instil a sense of student ownership and responsibility, foster community and nurture student leaders. At the beginning of the year all students are placed in one of two houses: Edward or Becket for students in Calgary; Nicholas or Lucy for students in Edmonton. Each house has a student prefect and is presided over by a faculty member. The houses engage in friendly competition in three categories to win end-of-year championships.

  1. House Champions in Service. Students maintain simple aspects of the physical environment by completing the “Daily Duties” (sweeping, dusting, kitchen crew, etc.).

  2. House Champions in Athletics. Students compete in optional but highly-encouraged intramural games.

  3. House Champions in Academics. Teachers may award points for exceptional written work or contributions to class discussion and activities. Teachers may also award points in this category for outstanding public presentations by students.

 

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
— 1 Corinthians 13:13
