St Dominic’s Priory House System
The House System at St Dominic’s Priory School allows every student and member of staff to feel a sense of belonging by becoming a member of either Newman, Romero or Teresa House. By being a member of the House family, students and staff are encouraged to show team spirit as each house strives to excel in the different areas of school life while ‘living and Learning with Christ as our Guide’.
Every student and member of staff has a coloured badge that represents the House that they are in, Red for Newman House, Green for Romero House and Blue for Teresa House. Each House is overseen by a Head of House; Ms Jovanovic for Romero House, Mr Cummings for Newman House and Mrs Longmore for Teresa House.
Each House meets regularly for assemblies led by the house captains; this breaks down barriers between the year groups and creates a sense of togetherness where older students can look out for the younger ones.
There are many House events throughout the year from all areas of school life. This blend ensures that everyone has the opportunity to represent their House in something that they enjoy or are good at. For example, House events include various art and sporting activities, fundraising for charity and quizzes. These competitions are eagerly anticipated by the students and each House is well represented.
House rewards:
House points are awarded to students for exceptional classwork, homework and effort. They can also be awarded for kindness, attendance to extra-curricular activities and representing the school. Pin badges are awarded in end of term celebration assemblies as follows;
| 50 points | Bronze |
| 100 points | Silver |
| 150 points | Gold |
| 200 points | Platinum |

Hi, I’m Evie, and I’m honoured to be this year’s Head Student.
My main interest is playing football, and I’ve loved representing the school in sport over the years. I’m a big team player and really enjoy working with others to achieve our goals. My favourite subjects are DT and biology, and I love learning new things and challenging myself. St Dominic’s has genuinely changed my life — it’s helped me grow in confidence and believe in myself — and I’m really looking forward to giving something back by being a friendly face and supportive role model to others.
