Island Primary community nominates house names
A VERY large thank you to everyone who submitted suggestions for our House names. We had a fantastic response with the ‘plants and woods’ giving the ‘animals’ a tough run for first place. After much thought and discussion, we’ve gone in favour of the theme most suggested, our animals, and we are excited to share a small introduction to our four houses below.
And while each house (animal) is distinct, enhancing our school with its own unique qualities, it is their shared qualities of resilience, perseverance, adaptability, courage, and character, which makes them so apt for Island Primary. These core values are integral elements of our whole school identity and we aspire to develop and demonstrate these each day.
Cayman Parrot
Look up and listen, our Parrots are singing a warm welcome. Representing our beautiful skies, our Parrots symbolize our beautiful, colourful country, and soar our skies to remind us to look up and appreciate all that we have.
Blue Iguana
As one of our most protected animals, our Blue Iguanas are truly Caymanian as it's the only place on earth to find them. Having one of the longest life spans of it's species, the Blue Iguana symbolizes our heritage, and carry the strength and confidence befitting such a rare and proud animal.
Sea Turtle
Holding a place on our country's coat of arms, our Turtles represent our seafaring history, and is one of the few species on our planet that are so ancient they existed when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Our turtles represent our beloved isle, and our school family would just not be complete without them.
