At Ridgeview, the students and teachers are sorted into a House System.
Students and teachers at schools where the House System has been put in place have raved about the impact it has had on the educational experience. Children have noted such things as how it has helped them to form friendships and create closer bonds with their peers. Teachers have noted how students perform at higher levels when points are assigned and their peers are cheering them on. Additional benefits include the following:
* Culture of Belonging
* School-wide Community
* Character Building
In 2019, RES established 7 Houses in which every student and staff member will be sorted. Each house has it's own characteristics. Once students have been sorted, they will remain in that house for all of their years at RES.
We will have House challenges throughout the year and students can earn points for their House through good character and strong effort. We will end each nine weeks with a House Party to celebrate and one House will be named House Champion at the end of the year!
