The House System
During their time at Chisipite Senior school all pupils (day and boarding) are assigned to one of four Houses, Anderson House, Patrons House, St. Paul’s House and Spring House. The Houses are a key feature of life at Chisipite and pupils enjoy a healthy rivalry in Inter-House Sport, Music and Speech and Drama competitions, culminating in the much sought after House Cup and Junior House Cup awarded at the end of each year.
