The Four Houses
At ELPS the daily administration of discipline is viewed with a refreshingly different perspective. The Discipline Council monitors discipline in the classroom with a star and card Code of Discipline.
Outside the classroom, teachers adopt the role of guide and mentor while student leaders monitor and implement the Code. ELPS strictly follows the no corporal punishment rule.

The House Council
Council Constitution
At ELPS the House Council concept consists of House Captains, Prefects, Students, Teachers, and House Mistress. House Captains and Prefects are invested with responsibilities and are accountable for the discipline of the general body of students on a daily basis.
Weekly Assemblies
The House Councils hold a lively weekly meeting to discuss matters pertaining to the House, thereby encouraging participation and decision making. Discipline issues are discussed since all behavior in and outside the classroom is reflected in merit or demerit points for the house.
Collective Responsibility
Students are taught to be collectively responsible to their peers – merit is collectively achieved for the whole house and demerit is collectively censured. The principle of ‘I am my brother’s keeper’ is used where peers regulate each other’s discipline using guidelines from the student rule book.
