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.
