House System
Apart from clubs, another constructive occupation for the students at GDGPSB is the House system. To inculcate a healthy sense of competition, the students have been allocated one of the four houses which symbolizes the school’s values. Students develop a sense of belonging and a feeling of unity in being a part of a specific house.
All the Houses shall perform the following duties by rotation:
- To conduct the Morning Assembly
- To collect and prepare news of International, National, School and Sports events and also write a thought for the day on the whiteboard meant for the purpose.
- To deliver the “Thought” in the form of a short speech in the Morning Assembly.
- To check the late comers and mark in their diaries.
- To help in maintaining order and discipline during the arrival, recess period and dispersal.
- To participate enthusiastically in all Intra-House and Inter-House contests.

Each house is led by the House In-charge for a year. The House Captains guide their teams on all fronts and play a vital role in leading their team to victory in all events. Various house competitions not only help the students acquire the spirit of team spirit and selfless service. Be it a debate, quiz or sports event, students give their best to win laurels and house points. Participation in various activities brings the house honour and gives the students a sense of pride. Throughout the year all houses participate in various Inter House events and at the end of the year, the final scores are prepared to adjudge the best house.
The House system inculcates in the students the values of team spirit, commitment, loyalty, sharing and healthy competition. Students are urged to compete with themselves, raising their own excellence bar. Points are awarded to students throughout the year for Co-Curricular Activities, Sports Tournaments & Discipline through Inter House Competitions in Sports, Debates, Quiz, Arts & Music and Prizes/ Trophies are awarded accordingly. At the end of the academic session, the house gaining the highest points is awarded the running trophy. The aim of the House system is to inculcate and develop the qualities of leadership, public speaking & organizational skills among the students through various inter house competitions and school functions.
