WSA Houses
The WSA House System
Our motto ‘WSA….Investing in YOU!’ perfectly aligns with the House Points system by emphasizing personal growth, community spirit and the pursuit of excellence. Beyond the fun and camaraderie, the House System offers numerous benefits that contribute to a well-rounded educational experience. Every student and staff member at WSA belongs to one of the four Houses, each with its own unique identity, color and mascot.
The Benefits of WSA’s House System:
Fostering Community and Belonging
One of the primary advantages of WSA’s House System is the sense of community it fosters. Students from different year groups come together under a common banner, creating a supportive and inclusive environment. This sense of belonging can significantly enhance a student’s school experience, making them feel more connected and engaged.

WSA’s House System promotes healthy competition. Through various inter-house competitions, students can showcase their talents in academics, sports, arts and other areas. This not only motivates students to excel but also teaches them valuable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship and resilience.
Developing Leadership Skills
There are many Leadership opportunities within the house system. Students can take on roles such as House Captain, Prefects, or Committee Members, allowing them to develop essential leadership and organizational skills. These roles help students build confidence and prepare them for future responsibilities.
Enhancing WSA Spirit
House events and activities often become highlights of the school year, boosting overall school spirit. Whether it’s a sports day, a talent show or a charity drive, these events bring the entire school community together, fostering a sense of pride and unity.
