School Life

Houses

The House System is an integral part of life here at IBSB. Every student who joins our school is placed into one of three houses: Dobrogea, Transilvania, or Muntenia, which were three of the nine prominent regions or fiefdoms that joined together to form what is now referred to as modern day Romania.

The House System plays a key role in our Pastoral Care System, providing students with collegial network of friends when they first arrive on campus. The Houses each elect a Captain and Vice Captain at the start of the year, both in the Primary and Secondary School, and then meet regularly to prepare for the monthly House Competitions that take place and to talk team strategy in regard to gaining valuable House Points. Students are awarded Houses points for acts of charity and for helping each other and the teachers throughout the normal school day. House points are also awarded for student involvement in school events such as UN Day and the School Productions and as such play a pivotal role in encouraging Good Behaviour and in developing team spirit and greater individual responsibility.

At the end of each term the winning house is awarded a trip somewhere as a reward for all their effort throughout the term and at the end of the year, following the School Sports Day, the winning House is announced, with their names etched onto the IBSB House Cup for posterity.
