History

In Greek mythology, Pegasus was a winged horse that was the offspring of Poseidon and the Gorgon, Medusa.  An unlikely pair to be sure, but their offspring Pegasus would go on to become one of the most faithful servants of Zeus himself -- the king of the Gods.  Pegasus was also a brief servant of Perseus in the legendary story of his fight against the Chimera.  This story was later captured in a Hollywood film titled Clash of the Titans.  In honour of his service to Zeus, Pegasus was transformed into a constellation of stars before his final day and there remains for ever more to be witnessed by future hero’s around the world, and to inspire the young to believe that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it. 

The central value of Pegasus House is RESPECT.  The winged horse Pegasus embodies respect through its sense of service to others.  It is through service to others that one gives respect to them and then in return can receive respect.  We honour and welcome all new members of PEGASUS HOUSE and hope that you earn the respect of others by first giving respect, and that by your sense of honour and loyalty, enhance this schools reputation both inside and outside the walls of CtK.
