This session is designed for schools beginning their House System journey or looking to strengthen their foundation. Participants will explore the purpose behind the House System and how it can transform school culture, belonging, and student engagement. We will walk through practical steps for launching in year one, including how to build strong student and staff buy-in from the start. Attendees will also receive guidance on what materials and resources are truly worth purchasing now versus later, helping schools prioritize what matters most for a successful launch.
