• Nehru (Sky Blue)

The houses compete against each other in academic and sporting disciplines, each contributing towards house points. The house with maximum points is declared the House Of The Year.

Prefects are appointed by the principal after consultation with the House Masters. Prefects are entrusted with a good deal of authority and distinguished privileges. The Prefects are led by the Captain of School, the four House Captains and the four House vice captains. Special ties and blazer crests are worn to distinguish prefects from the rest of the students.
