The House system is designed to promote school spirit, cooperation, a healthy sense of competition and a feeling of pride in belonging.

The curriculum at MIS is supported by a wide range of stimulating educational experiences. During the course of the year there are opportunities for the children to be involved in excursions to a variety of places in the local area.

ECAs are held after school, over three days, in secondary and once a week in primary. All students are given an opportunity to spend some time engaged in a club, society or activity designed to broaden their experience and improve their knowledge.
