Introduction

At Bromsgrove Cambodia, our house system plays a vital role in shaping student identity, fostering community spirit, and celebrating core values that align with our educational mission. As we continue to grow, we propose the introduction of four carefully selected house names, each representing a historical figure whose legacy reflects qualities we seek to inspire in our learners:

Compassion
Curiosity
Resilience
Innovation.

These house names not only honour globally significant individuals but also reinforce our commitment to character education, leadership, and academic excellence. Each house is paired with a distinctive colour, motto, and theme, creating a strong sense of belonging and purpose across the school community.
