To develop the competitive feelings among students, our school has divided them into four houses based on the names of constellations showing the group of combinations of stars with various meanings. Those houses and their description are as -
COLUMBA – THE DOVE YELLOW COLOR
Genitive: Columbae
Columba constellation represents the dove. It was introduced by Petrus Plancius in the 16th century and originally named Columba Noachi, or Noah’s Dove, in reference to the dove that signalled to Noah that the Great Flood was receding.
INDUS – THE INDIAN GREEN COLOR
Genitive: Indi
Indus is another constellation introduced by Plancius. It represents the Indian. Since Dutch explorers encountered many indigenous peoples on their expeditions, it is unclear if the constellation’s name refers to a native of the East Indies, Madagascar, or South Africa.
PAVO – THE PEACOCK BLUE COLOR
Genitive: Pavonis
Pavo constellation was introduced by Petrus Plancius in the 16th century. It represents the Java green peacock that Dutch navigators probably encountered while exploring the East Indies.
VIRGO – THE YOUNG MAIDEN RED COLOR
Genitive: Virginis
Virgo is one of the Greek constellations. It is associated with Dike, the Greek goddess of justice, holding the scales of justice represented by the neighbouring constellation Libra.
