BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

One of the great assets the house system has is its ability to allow everyone to display their talents in their respective interests, and do so in a competitive manner against their fellow classmates - perhaps explaining why we have had so many house contests already!

Personally, the most captivating event we have had this term is the House Quiz, which led to a theatre of passionate students cheering on their houses as they went headto-head.

As with anything you introduce, it is important to seek a consensus on how people think it is going and some of the responses and ideas we have had come to us from students all over the school paint the picture that this system is something that will poise excitement throughout the school for many future generations of Hymers.

In a school as inter-connected as Hymers, it really is fantastic to see a system that creates cross-year allegiances take off so well. I am excited to see what the future holds for the house system, and hopefully its successes will be celebrated for years to come!
