Our Sports House System

All Kent Ridgeans, both students and staffs, are divided into 5 houses with names taken from the 5 brilliant constellations in the universe -literally Beyond Frontiers.

Auriga the Charioteer


House Master: Mr Wong WK

Auriga is an ancient Northern constellation featuring Capella, one of the brightest stars in the sky. Auriga is widely regarded as a charioteer, with origins in Greek mythology about Erichthonius, King of Athens. He had difficulty in walking which led to him inventing the first four-wheel chariot. This invention brought him a place of honor in the sky in the form of a constellation.

Cassiopeia the Queen


House Master: Mr Tan KC

Cassiopeia is a Northern constellation. It can be identified by its stars which form the shape 'W'. It has origins in Greek Mythology as the beautiful, but vain, queen of Cephues, King of Ethiopia. Due to her vanity, she was punished by Greek God Posideon and placed on a chair which rotates around the Pole Star, so half of the time she has to sit upside down.

Lyra the Lyre


House Master: Mr Chan KH

The Lyra is a small constellation, but it is home to the Vega, the fifth brightest Star of the galaxy. Lyra was said to be the magical harp given to Oprheus by Mercury or Apollo. It produced the most beautiful music when played by Oprheus and charmed every person or animal and even non-living things. When Oprheus died, Lyra was placed in the sky by Greek God Jupiter.

Orion the Great Hunter


House Master: Ms Kai SM

Orion is one of the most well-known and prominent constellation. A legendary hunter of Greek Mythology, Orion had skills that none could match. However, he became too proud of his abilities and his constant boasting angered the Gods. They sent a scorpion to sting and kill Orion as a punishment. Orion was then placed in the sky, to remember the great hunter by and to warn against the sin of ego and pride.
