The house system at Remnant Christian Junior School is designed to foster a sense of community, teamwork, and healthy competition among students. The school is divided into four houses, each inspired by biblical names and values: Shalom, Rapha, Jireh, and Nissi. These houses reflect the school's Christian ethos and serve as a framework for promoting moral development, spiritual growth, and academic excellence.
"Nissi" means "Banner" and refers to "Jehovah Nissi," or "The Lord is my Banner." This house represents victory, faith, and courage. Members of Nissi House are encouraged to lead by example, demonstrating boldness and confidence in their endeavors. Nissi inspires its members to pursue excellence with unwavering determination and to stand firm in their faith.
"Jireh," meaning "Provider" from "Jehovah Jireh," reflects God's provision and abundance. The Jireh House focuses on stewardship, generosity, and hard work. Students in this house are motivated to be resourceful, disciplined, and forward-thinking. They are encouraged to share their talents and resources with others, reinforcing the values of gratitude and humility.
The word "Shalom" means peace, wholeness, and well-being. The Shalom House emphasizes values such as harmony, unity, and conflict resolution. Students in this house are encouraged to be peacemakers, contributing to a positive and inclusive school environment. Shalom House symbolizes serenity and balance, motivating its members to excel in academics, sports, and service with a calm and focused spirit.
"Rapha" translates to healing, derived from the Hebrew term "Jehovah Rapha," meaning "The Lord who heals." Rapha House embodies compassion, care, and restoration. Members of this house strive to support and uplift others, whether through acts of kindness, community service, or demonstrating empathy toward fellow students. Rapha inspires a spirit of encouragement and resilience, helping its members to overcome challenges together.
