All the students in GEMS belong to one of four Houses named after the elements - Luft, Wasser, Feuer and Erde. The Houses help to develop a sense of community and school spirit for everyone.
Activities run throughout the year and House points are awarded for various activities involving teamwork, acts of kindness, sports competition and other challenges.
House Council representatives help to develop, organize and guide the multiple school events throughout the year. The GEMS House Council acts like a traditional Student Council in many respects. The main difference being that at GEMS we link activities to House events and House points for further incentive. This student leadership opportunity is available to students in grades 4-8.
House Council meets twice a month on the first and third Wednesday in Ms Wehrle’s room.
Please reach out to Ms Beckman or Ms Wehrle if you have any questions regarding House Council.
