History of the House System
The house system was introduced to Christchurch Girls’ High School in 1922. There were originally 8 Houses – Bealey, Deans, Fitzgerald, Godley, Harper, Rolleston, Selwyn and Wakefield. In 1924, this was reduced to 4 houses – Deans, Harper, Rolleston and Selwyn.
In 2001, with the increasing roll, 2 more Houses were added, Connon and Sheppard. In the same year the House banners were made, and the House ranking board was set up in the pupils’ foyer.

Students will be placed in one of six Houses, either Connon, Deans, Harper, Rolleston, Selwyn, or Sheppard.

Each House has a House Captain and a Deputy. Houses meet two – three times each term to catch up on House news and to arrange House activities. You will stay in your House throughout your time at CGHS. Staff also belong to a House and they will support you in your activities.

Each year there is a competition for the best House i.e. the House with the highest number of House points. House points are awarded in the classroom and out of the classroom for participation and achievement in inter-House activities.

A great way to get to know students from other classes and other levels is to get involved in House activities. Mrs C O'Connor
