Dear Students, Parents and Staff Members,

Ballia Jaipuria School is pleased to announce the formal introduction of its New House System and the commencement of the School Student Council Elections for the Academic Session 2026–27.

The House System has been established to provide students with structured opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, discipline, responsibility, creativity and a strong sense of belonging to the School community.

The Four School Houses

Together, the four Houses represent the School’s collective vision:

Think • Grow • Express • Explore

Each student will become a member of one of the four Houses and will participate in academic, literary, cultural, sporting, community-service and leadership activities through the House System.

The School Student Council will provide students with an opportunity to participate responsibly in school life, represent the student body and contribute to the organisation of House and School activities.

The election process will be conducted in a fair, disciplined and transparent manner under the supervision of the School Election Committee.
