The Phoenix in their rich blue have had the tradition of winning the sports trophies the highest number of times. The Centaurs dressed in red are the ones who give a tough competion in winning the house trophy to Phoenix. The Orion in green has been a fierce competition to Phoenix in getting the sports cup, while winning the cup for club activities for quite some time now. The Pegasus in yellow are a house that's generally reputed for a number of people who seem to be exceptionally responsible. There are two cups given away at the end of the year to the winning house -- One cup based upon the performance of the house in athletics, sports etc. and another based upon the performance in the various club activities.

[edit] School Events

The school organises a bi-annual inter-school fest. The fest, known as NaPSonic, sees a large number of teams from different schools competing fiercely to win the prizes for various events. To ensure the highest levels of fair play, the students of National Public School, Rajajinagar do not participate in the fests that the school holds.

The school also conducts a number of intra-school events, such as
- the Sports Day, with its drills and marchpast.
- Rhythms , the Annual Day, which stages dramas and enactments by all students of the school, with the exception of those belonging to classes 10 and 12 , for the school seems to believe that these are years when students must concentrate on their studies rather than on extra curricular activities.
- Sprectrum, an event where students construct scientific models or computer programs and exhibit the same to parents.
In addition, each year the School organises a Graduation Day programme to bid adieu to the graduating students.
