House League

Each child is assigned a house and this house will stay with them throughout their time at CIS. The house is an integrated mix of all students from KG1 through to Grade 12, with all students working together in friendly competition with the other houses. Students can earn points for their house by doing good deeds, being helpful, following directions, or being a good friend.

Our houses are: Scorpions (Green), Caribou (Red), Wildcats (Blue) and Falcons (Yellow). Students can earn points for their house for good behavior such as good attendance or following directions. House points are updated weekly.
