What is the purpose of House Time?

The purpose of House Time is to build a community sense within our school. School connectedness is something that can be achieved through shared experiences. The additional benefit of House Time is that the multi-age groupings allow younger children to grow comfortable around their older peers and likewise it creates authentic opportunities for older children to display leadership qualities.

How does House Time work at Fleetwood Primary School?

Each week the school gets sorted into our four houses and spends time participating in fun activities. All staff members (Prin class, admin, teachers, specialists, integration aides) are allocated a house and participate in the fun. We begin by sharing the current Power Up leader board (points given to acknowledge children displaying our values of safety, responsibility and respect) and then each house moves to a different space in the school to enjoy their planned activities. These are often small, simple games that allow for high levels of energy, enthusiasm, socialising and building team spirit.
