All students in Ying Wa College are divided into five houses. Numerous inter-house competitions in the fields of sports, culture and music are held all round the year. The house which gets the highest mark out of all these competitions wins the overall championship of the year. Under the house system, competitions come with great excitement and Ying Wa boys spare no effort in their participation, developing a strong atmosphere in the school.
The five houses are:
Hoh Fuk Tong, Leung Faat, Milne, Morrison and Noble.
