The House system in the school is inspired by the five essential elements of life “Panchamabhutas” or “Panchtatva”. It occupies a prominent place and it plays a prominent role in furthering the cultural and co-curricular activities of the school. With this in mind, every student is allotted a particular House as soon as he/she is admitted to the school. The students get ample opportunities of taking part in intra and inter house activities through the House System.
Students also develop a sense of belonging, commitment towards their house. This enables children to manifest their talents and develop a holistic personality.
The houses are as follows for the students of class I and above.
HOUSE | MOTTO | COLOUR | DEED |
Prithvi | Health | Green | Care |
Jal | Value | Blue | Kindness |
Agni | Wisdom | Red | Patience |
Vayu | Liberty | Yellow | Charity |
Prithvi (Earth) As Body
The Earth element here symbolizes the physical body. We connect to the outside world through our five sense organs: Ears, Eyes, Skin, Tongue and Nose, which helps to perceive the five physical attributes of this Universe, which are Sound, Sight, Touch, Taste and Smell.
Jal (Water) As Mind
Water, the source of life appears in myriad forms which tells us about the basic attribute of water that it accommodates itself in every conceivable and imaginable shape. Similarly, our human mindis also not solid like body, it changes and flows rapidly between various sense perceptions.
Agni (Fire) As Intelligence
Fire is the source of light and energy. Our mind is a constant flux of thoughts but these thoughts are streamlined into logical information pattern by a subtler aspect called Intelligence (Buddhi). Intelligence illuminates the path for the Mind to flow logically.
Vayu (Air) As Awareness
Air is the most powerful source to sustain life. Only when we are alive, we can feel body, mind and intelligence. That aliveness is known as Awareness. It is the awareness that enlivens the other threе elements. Like the Air is needed for fire to burn, Awareness is needed for Intelligence to propel the functioning of Mind and Body.
Akash (Space) As Consciousness
Like everything exists in space, all existence come into “Being due to Consciousness.” Without consciousness nothing can exist and function. Consciousness does not depend on the other four elements, but all the four cannot exist and function without consciousness. Akash has been given to the School Captain and School Vice-Captain who incorporate the remaining colours into their own and march ahead, for collective progress combining their force with the forces of Agni, Jal, Prithvi and Vayu.
