THE HOUSE SYSTEM
Shortly after admission to Calabar, students are assigned to one of the five houses: Rome, Sparta, Corinth, Athens and Troy. Friendly rivalry is encouraged between houses which compete for academic and athletic honours. Inter-grade and Inter-house competitions are held in the major sports and points are awarded to winning teams. At the annual prize-giving, a shield is presented to the champion house. Unsupervised games during school hours are not allowed. All students are encouraged to participate in games and other extra-curricular activities, but not to the exclusion or endangerment of their academic work. A strong sense of balance between the two aspects of the students’ development is strongly advised.
