Oldmachar Academy - Houses

Houses

As of 2009, there are seven classes in each year group (A to G) except S1 which has six classes. There are six school houses, each named after a local Scottish castle beginning with the letter of the six corresponding classes. "G" does not have its own house due to there not being enough pupils and the absence of a first year "G" class, so they are split into the other houses by year.

The houses are:

  • Auchindoun
  • Balmoral
  • Crathes
  • Dunnottar
  • Esslemont
  • Fyvie

Famous quotes containing the word houses:

    I cannot go to the houses of my nearest relatives, because I do not wish to be alone. Society exists by chemical affinity, and not otherwise.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    People’s backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    There is the rich quarter, with its houses of pink and white, and
    its crumbling, leafy terraces.
    There is the poorer quarter, its homes a deep blue.
    There is the market, where men are selling hats and swatting flies
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
