The Oxford School House System
NEW THIS YEAR! We are excited to introduce the House System for The Oxford School. Designed to foster a sense of camaraderie, encourage healthy competition, develop school spirit and reward positive student actions. Teams will elect a Grade 8 House Captain, a Grade 7 House Treasurer and a Grade 6 Assistant Captain to lead each team, with the guidance of staff advisors.
TOS will assign each student to a House at the beginning of the school year, and they will remain with that house throughout their years at The Oxford School. This House system will encourage students of all grades and skill levels to work together as a community. House activities will provide an opportunity for every grade to participate in completing tasks or challenges. The younger students will build a new found confidence and have the chance to learn from the older students. The upper grades will learn responsibility and leadership skills as they act as role models for the lower grades.
Each House and student will have the opportunity to accumulate points throughout the year based on student participation in challenges and in all aspects of student life — not just in the area of athletics. The House that accumulates the most points by the end of the year receives the "Woodstock Wild Cup" in a school-wide awards assembly. All houses will celebrate as one community at year’s end to recognize exceptional students and role models along with the successes of each House.
Introducing Woodstock Trinity School Houses
House names have been selected to represent notable Canadians, both male and female, who have helped put Canada on the world map. Each person serves as a role model for our students and represents positive change, incredible work ethic and meaningful contributions to our Canadian culture. Each icon represents a different area of study; arts & creative writing, athletics & sportsmanship, mathematics & technology, science & biology.
To accompany the house names, each house is also identifiable through it’s team colour, and Canadian team mascot.
