The Arnison Cup and The Arnison Shield

The Alumni Association donated The Arnison Cup to the Senior School and The Arnison Shield to the Junior School, with both perpetual awards presented for the first time at Scholars’ Day in 2009.

Each year, Houses take part in a wide range of competitions and activities including Leadership Day, Founders’ Day competitions, House Plays, Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country, Chess, Tug-o-War, Tabloids, and more. The winner of each of these events is awarded points, and at the end of the school year the total points awarded to each House is tallied.
