At Hartland, the house system plays a central role in fostering teamwork, collaboration, and a strong sense of community. Students from all year groups are assigned to one of four Houses — Mushrif, Creekside, Safa and Zabeel — named after iconic parks in Dubai. This system encourages students to develop meaningful relationships, both within and beyond their immediate peer groups, while igniting a passion for healthy competition. House points are awarded for academic excellence, acts of kindness, and participation in a wide array of activities. Through the house system, Hartland ensures that every student feels a sense of belonging while celebrating their achievements. Through the house system we aim to:
The house system at Hartland is designed to cultivate a strong sense of community. Students from different year levels are placed in the same house, encouraging friendships that span across age groups. For example, events such as house assemblies provide an opportunity for students to come together, celebrate the achievements of their peers, and recognise the contributions of house members. Similarly, events such as the Teddy Bears Picnic for younger students encourage collaboration and shared experiences within their houses.
Siblings are always grouped in the same house, further strengthening family bonds. These initiatives promote inclusivity and create a support network where every student feels valued and connected.
