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, they are 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.

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.

House Captains and Vice Captains 2022

I am proud to present this year’s House Captains and Vice Captains below

Throughout the year, I work with the House Captains and Vice Captains to plan and lead a wide range of activities for the children in the school but also to support Citizenship and Community Engagement.

Plans are already underway for another busy year of activities, but already, the race for the much coveted House Cup is underway!

The question is……who will hold the house cup this year?

Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan
