House: Laksamana

Literally, 'laksamana' means 'admiral' of the navy or air force. But in this context, it is used as the name of a school house, so it should be retained as 'Laksamana'. In Malaysian schools, students are typically grouped into 'houses', comprising students of all years. This is mainly for sporting events and intra-school competition purposes. Sometimes, these 'houses' go by the names of colour, sometimes the names of famous people in history, sometimes the name of planets, et cetera.
