East House is one of the original Houses and was previously known as Foundation East. It is situated off the beautiful Main Quad and looks over the Fountain. East has accommodation for 69 boys from E to A Block. It has built up a reputation for producing sensible leaders and well-mannered, friendly Michaelhousians.
2008 Prefect's Mission Statement:
· To create an environment in which each individual is able to express himself openly.
· To create a house in which actions are governed by solid Christian values.
· Determination is acknowledged as victory.
· To promote values of trust, respect and integrity.
East House: "The house of the rising sun".
East Housemaster's Vision:
In East, I have an expectation of decency and caring. I have an expectation of brotherhood. When there are tough choices and decisions to be made, I ask myself "What would I do if this were my son?" The boy's know that I will defend the defenseless, but they also know that because I can never "close the door" on my own son, so the "door will always be open for them!"
· "A school is a building that has four walls and a tomorrow inside" (anon) - It's not about the buildings, but it's about the boys - they need a hope and a future - they are the tomorrow.
· Having a tomorrow and reaching your potential is also about discovering and using your gifts and talents.
· Having an eternal tomorrow is about having a personal relationship with the one who created us all
