Our School Houses
At St. James’ Church School, the house system is devised to promote team spirit and a sense of belonging to the school. Aided by dedicated staff members as House Masters/ Mistresses, this system provides ample and excellent opportunities for student leadership and peer group support, besides enabling students of different age groups to bond together and operate as a cohesive family. The Houses compete in different cultural, academic and sporting events throughout the year; and we witness a zealous participation from the students to win the coveted House Trophies.
