Houses

A “House” system was introduced to our students and staff in 2024. A “House” is a place to meet, a place to form a community and is a sense of identity for everyone, as well as a fun way to develop school pride. Being part of a “House”, students work on their collaboration skills, as each “House” includes students from kindergarten to grade eight. There are a variety of activities throughout the year such as dress-up days, a dance-off, trivia, an art competition, Halloween activities, Kindness Week activities, STEM challenges, a Track and Field event…and more. The activities provide opportunities to earn “House” points. In June, the house with the most points wins the coveted Golden Egg!

There are five “Houses”, and students remain with their “House” throughout their time at Turnbull School. Each “House” has its own colour and three character traits:

Hawks (Green) -versatility, intuition and power   

Cardinals (Red) – guidance, affection and communication

Falcons (Yellow) – speed, agility and focus

Jays (Blue) – curiosity, intelligence and adaptability

Eagles (Black) – respect, strength and courage
