Dunlop House System
House Captains and House Vice Captains
When new pupils arrive at Dunlop Primary, their transition is supported by entry into a caring and supportive environment. Each new pupil becomes a valued member of a small ‘family unit’ and they are allocated a House. Pupils stay within that house until they leave in P7, additionally we place siblings together within a house.
At Dunlop Primary, we have three house: Clerkland, Glazert and Lugton and these are named after local areas.
House Colours
Each house is represented by a different colour and we encourage pupils to wear their house colours on days throughout the year.
Clerkalnd = Blue
Glazert = Yellow
Lugton = Red
House Captains
At the beginning of the school year, a P7 is elected House Captain and takes on the responsibility for the leadership and organisation of their house for the forthcoming year, and they are ably supported by a P6 Vice Captain.
The House Captains and Vice Captains work tirelessly to ensure their house members are working together to earn House Points whilst ensuring that all house members are living and demonstrating the Dunlop School Values: Honest, Inclusive, Kind and Respect
House Points
Throughout the year, house points are awarded to pupils who are spotted living and sharing the Dunlop Values. House points are also awarded at House Events and Inter House Challenges. At the end of the year, house points are added together and the house with the most points wins the overall house competition and are rewarded with hte prestige of lifting the House Cup and also with a treat!
Election Fever
At the beginning of the new school year, P7 ad P6 pupils prepare and present an election speech to their peers in their own house, and each house then votes for their captains and vice captains.
