House Colours are organised into the four pillars of the House System, and each pillar has a different set of criteria. If you have achieved one of the criteria set out below since being at RMGS, you complete a House Colours form (available on the school website and from the staff room), get it signed by a member of staff, and then give the form to Mr Shibli, providing any evidence if necessary. Your House Colour will then be presented to you at the next House Assembly.
