House system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The house system is a traditional feature of British, Australian, Canadian, Hong Kong, Indian and Singaporean schools, similar to the collegiate system of a university. |
 | | Historically it was associated with established public schools, where a 'house' refers to a boarding house or dormitory of a boarding school. |
 | | One notable feature of the house system is the nomination and election, or appointment, of house captains for the junior and senior school, whose job it is to rally fellow house-members and to pick individuals for team events. |
