The children of The Hungry Caterpillar School are GEMS. The school has Four Houses developing a competitive spirit among the children to become achievers in all activities. We also believe the children will reflect the qualities of the gems as in
- Topaz, being the yellow, house will stimulate the children to reflect sunshine.
- Ruby, being the red house, aims at producing dynamic and stable achievers
- Emerald, the green house, aims at developing kind and compassionate winners
- Saphire, the blue house, aims at reflecting amazing wisdom and honest achievers.
These houses blend to become The Hungry Caterpillar School, a Treasure house of precious gems.
