House System

Mission Statement

Mill Hill County High School have introduced a new House System which launched in September 2023. A House System will strengthen a sense of belonging for staff and students and encourage unity across all year groups.

House events and competitions will be planned throughout the year and will comprise of lots of fun activities and challenges across the full range of subjects. The House System will support our school values by:​

  • encouraging healthy relationships​

  • creating challenge and provide opportunities to develop resilience outside the classroom​

  • creating opportunities for students to regularly give back to the school community​

  • promoting the importance of citizenship and community support​

  • encouraging the vertical integration of students throughout the school​

Head of House Jupiter - Mr Wöhner

My name is Mr Wöhner. I am a behaviour mentor and a member of the Safeguarding Team. My past experiences comprise of youth work and a brief spell in the corporate world. I support Chelsea football club and love to travel. I take pride in leading House Jupiter, and I aim to build a rich community of students and staff. A community where it becomes second nature to support and encourage each other. House Jupiter strives for success in all enrichment activities and competitions.

Shaping tomorrow, one student at a time!

Head of House Mars - Mrs Donghi

Hello, I am Mrs Donghi, and I am the Head of House Mars.

I have been at MHCHS for 7 years as a Teacher of PE, but have also been assistant Head of year during my time here. However, I am extremely excited about my new role within the school. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and having family days out with my 2 children. We also love to visit our holiday home in Spain when we can.

I envisage the House of Mars to become a family and community who celebrate one another in every way possible. When I was at school, I was in a vertical tutoring system (different year groups in one form group) and it enabled me to grow in confidence, build relationships and develop my studies by getting advice and help from older year groups. I believe as a House we can do the same and it would be lovely to see friendships and support system built from year 7 to year 13. We will be with each other through all house events and celebrate the highs and correct the lows. 

They say women are from Venus and men are from Mars but we are one solar system, one school, one House, we are the House of Mars!!

 

Head of House Neptune - Ms Downie

Hello, I am Ms Downie, and I am the Head of Neptune House.

I love being a Geography teacher, but in my free time I enjoy a spot of netball and travelling around the world. My favourite city at the moment is Lisbon (because of the food).

My vision for Neptune House is that it is a warm and compassionate community where diversity is celebrated. I would like Neptunians to have a reputation for their kindness and tenacity, as they work together to make MHCHS an even friendlier place. Finally, I want Neptunians to be bold, to challenge themselves to try new activities this year and be the very best they can be!

If you see me on the corridor, please say hello! I cannot wait to get to know you all

Head of House Saturn - Miss Singh

My name is Miss Singh and I started at Mill Hill County last year to teach Biology after living in Australia for 3 years.

My interests are, trying new foods, travelling around the world and volunteering with exotic animals. I have worked with lions and cheetahs in South Africa and pumas and jaguars in South America! I also love to skateboard, surf, and go to the gym.

My House ambitions are to ensure House Saturn look out for each other, push themselves out of their comfort zone to try new things and run rings around the other planets to win the House Cup!

If you ever need me, I will be in S04 or the science office.
