IHC

USGSites are a fusion of four Houses - ROSES,  BLUEBELLS, DAFFODILS, SHAMROCKS which imbibe the spirit of healthy competition, fair play and a sense of belonging. The four Houses compete with each other throughout the year to bag the First place and the BEST HOUSE trophy.

Democratically elected Student Council members lead the Houses and the Head Boy & Head Girl ably lead the school. A three-stage process which includes Faculty appraisal, interview & Group Discussion and casting of votes ensures a smooth and impartial selection of council members. The election process is extremely transparent as the voting is online.

The four Houses take part in the Inter-House Competitions in keeping with the spirit of their motto. Bluebells motto is FULL EFFORT IS FULL VICTORY. Daffodils motto is DO YOUR PART. The motto of Roses is EXCELLENCE THROUGH ENDEAVOUR. The motto of Shamrocks is NEVER GIVE IN.
Inter-House Competitions (IHC) are the backbone of our school as they educate our students in skills much needed today- Life Skills. The competitions are open to all students of grade 3-10 who are selected after auditions or eliminations and can compete to bring laurels to their house.
