In the Senior School a boy is placed in one of ten Houses and would expect to stay in that House for the duration of his time in the Senior School. House Heads maintain a watch on the boy's progress in all areas of School life - academic, spiritual, emotional and physical. To this end they work in consultation with the Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster, House Tutor, Director of Teaching and Learning, Chaplain and School Psychologist. They are concerned with the boy's choice of subjects, activities and with his participation in other co-curricular spheres. Parents are encouraged to confer with their son's House Head, who thus provides a constant point of reference during the boy's time at the School.

Boys wear House ties so that they may more easily be identified with their House. In this way, it is easier for a House Head to be given information about the welfare of his boys by their teachers. The House ties have tartan designs. Five of them are the tartan of the House name and the other five are selected so that the predominant colour is the colour used by the House for athletic events.
