It is with great excitement that we are able to announce the new names for our six House Teams.

Following extensive consultation with students, new titles have been hotly anticipated. Initially named in honour of Founding Graduates, House Teams will now be connected to the names of flowering plants indigenous to Hong Kong.

Anise House, Balsam House, Bauhinia House, Hook House, Hutch House and Krasser House have all been given distinctive new logos which mirror their floral inspiration.

"House allocation is a growing part of what it means to be a Shrewsbury student. Awarded upon entry to the Primary School, they drive greater camaraderie and stoke healthy competition." Mr Ben Keeling, Principal
