House System

The House System at St Louis is for our junior school students. This initiative is designed to enable pupils to take more responsibility for their behaviour as well as improving confidence and self-esteem. We hope that the system motivates and inspires each of our pupils to achieve their full potential. The Whole School House System was developed to promote a positive and inclusive culture at St Louis. The system is designed to create a caring and supportive environment where all students are valued and can demonstrate loyalty and allegiance while contributing to the success of their House.
All teachers take an active interest in the House System and in the progress of their classes. Form Teachers promote the House System and encourage pupils to try their best to achieve achievement points. One of the main strengths of the House System is giving students of all ages the opportunity to work together, creating a truly cohesive environment and ensuring that age is not a barrier to friendship and collaboration.
How does the system work?
There are seven Houses. Each House is comprised of a Year 8, 9 and 10 class. The Houses are named after geographical areas in the Glens of Antrim. Pupils' badges represent their House colour and are worn on the lapel of their blazer. We encourage pupils to wear their badge with pride and as this is a team effort everyone's contribution is important.

Laragh wear a yellow badge

Layde wear a red badge

Lir wear a white badge

Lisbreen wear a green badge

Lismoyle wear a blue badge

Lurig wear an orange badge

Lyndon wear a purple badge

When pupils' have an achievement, points are ADDED to the HOUSE TOTAL.

When there is misbehaviour, points are SUBTRACTED from the HOUSE TOTAL.

Each member of the House is responsible for the HOUSE TOTAL.

What are points awarded for?

How will pupils know how many points each House has?
House points are added up every term and displayed on the plasma screen in the foyer. At the end of each half term/term the House with the most points is awarded a trip. Past trips have included the cinema, bowling and outdoor adventure pursuits.

Individual Reward System

It is important that all children are recognised for displaying positive behaviour. An individual reward system has been established at St. Louis so that all students can be rewarded for their efforts. Each student has an opportunity to collect individual reward points throughout the year. A positive text, postcard or tasty treat will be organised for students who accumulate a certain number of reward points.

Good luck to everyone!
