House Day

House Day? What is house day? A day where you go to a house? A day where you stay in a house? No, House day is a day where all the houses (Manchester, Wigan, Blackburn and Chorley) all compete for the Lyde cup and various other cups. Many boys believe it is a good thing to have house day because it is a break off lessons so boys can have a bit of fun and not always do work. House day happens once a term. This term it happened on the 11th of March (the same day as Newsday).

Each house has a house master Manchester’s house master is Mr Prentki, Wigan’s is Dr Cooper, Blackburn’s is Mr McMillan and Chorley’s is Mr Jackson. All the houses have an assembly a couple of weeks before the day so they can decide what they are going to do on the day. There are a wide range of activities from Debating to Angling. House Day runs in and out of school. One boy said that it was very good because you can do lots of stuff in one day and you get to miss normal lessons.

Let the best house win!!!
