School Houses
At Maraetai Beach School we have four houses:
Motutapu | Rangitoto | Ponui | Waiheke
These are named after islands in the Hauraki Gulf.
All students are placed in a house when they begin at MBS (siblings are placed in the same house) to foster their sense of pride and belonging in the school.
Houses meet regularly and compete in different events across the school year. House points are given out on a regular basis and the the winning house at the end of the year wins the House Cup. Each House is lead by two House Captains and two Sport Captains.
All students are placed in a house when they begin at MBS (siblings are placed in the same house) to foster their sense of pride and belonging in the school.
Team spirit is developed through:
Regular House Colour Days and Lunches
Learning house chants
Wearing house colours at school sports events such as cross country
House Point winners are announced at every whole school assembly with winning houses earning an ‘own clothes day’ the following week. Term winners get a prize on the last day.
Each house is represented by a number of Year 8 students. Those students have to apply and be interviewed for the position. It is a hard fought contest!
