Inter House Competition

The Inter House Competition at Hastings Boys' High School is an important part of the school calendar.  The House System was re-introduced in 1998.  The purpose of the The House System is to develop pride in the school, and to foster a school culture, through a wide range of sporting and cultural activities.  Boys compete against each other by House in Year Levels.

HOUSE NAMES

The four names chosen are all linked to each other and the school.   It was important that the school staff and pupils could identify with each name and their meanings.  Choosing these names shows the commitment the school has to the cultural side and elements that make our school who we are.

All four colours can be found in our school uniform.  Again, the colours were linked to school and were easily recognisable.  This gave the four houses a more personal feeling and each house an identity.
