Events
Tournaments& Houses
Physical development is one of our six structural pillars, and it is not an afterthought. Every MPIS student trains, competes and belongs to a house.
The house system
Placed on admission, yours for life
Points are earned across sport, academics, debate, punctuality and conduct — so the child who never wins a race can still win points for the house, and usually does. The House Cup is presented on Speech and Prize-Giving Day.
That breadth is deliberate. A house system built on athletics alone rewards a handful of children; one built on conduct and punctuality rewards everybody who turns up and tries.
Points are earned for
- Sport — heats, finals and league fixtures
- Academics — results and improvement
- Debate and the literary competitions
- Punctuality across the term
- Conduct, in and out of class

Early Years
Movement, balance and coordination sessions, plus the Fun Sports Day — sack races, egg-and-spoon, obstacle courses and the parents’ race. Everyone finishes, everyone gets a medal.

House novelty games, short sprints, relays and introductory ball skills. The focus is participation, and learning to lose well.
Upper Primary
First competitive house teams, athletics heats, and academy trials open from Primary 4.
Junior Secondary
Full house leagues, academy squads, and the first inter-school representation.
Senior Secondary
Senior leagues, state-level competition, and leadership roles — house captains, team captains, sports prefects and student officials who referee and manage the junior fixtures.
