Isebrook School
School Houses
Every student is assigned to one of our four houses when they start at Isebrook School and will remain in the same house throughout their time here.
The aims of the school houses are to increase:
- A sense of community - Everyone belongs and works together.
- A sense of purpose – Trying our best and be proud of what we do.
- A sense of belonging – All students are important and their voice matters
We want our students to:
- Work towards a common goal - Try their best and aim high together.
- Experience being part of a team - Help each other and celebrate success.
- Develop social skills and build character - Be kind, respectful, and grow every day.
