Prep Houses

Welcome to the Prep School Houses

Every pupil entering Marlborough College Malaysia Preparatory School is put into a House. Members of the same family will all be placed in the same House. The four Prep School Houses are Chichester, Hunt, Merlin and Seymour. They are named after famous Old Marlburians, or people/characters associated with Marlborough UK.

Merlin

Merlin House was named after the legendary wizard featured in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry. The Merlin mascot is a Falcon and the House colour is green.

The Heads of Houses and a team of talented Beaks oversee the House events.

We aim to encourage every girl and boy to make the most of the many opportunities on offer at Marlborough, in a fun yet competitive way. They have had the opportunity to enjoy many events on offer that cater to different abilities, tastes and interests. A few events that we take part in are:

  • The House Shout
  • House Quiz
  • House Matches
  • Pancake Race
  • M Factor
  • Spelling Bee
  • Swimming Galas
  • Aquathlon
  • Triathlon

And much much more…

Prep School House pupils enjoy competing in a wide range of House competitions. Every term sees the pupils of each house represent their house at sporting fixtures and performances in a competitive way to receive the House Cup at the end of the year. The children work up the ladder earning merits and house points. We then celebrate these achievements with our half-termly house assemblies, where pupils receive special award certificates.
