Housepoint Totals
Another extremely close battle was on this week as we found the winners for our Weekly Housepoint Totals. Only 3 points separated the Houses in 1st and 3rd place and our winning House clinched victory by just ONE housepoint!! It was an exciting race and I can’t wait to see just how close it continues to be!
Throughout Primary, our students worked hard to earn 971 housepoints altogether. Well done to everyone who earned housepoints as part of this grand total!
The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place, with 322 housepoints is Sulug!
In 2nd place with 324 housepoints is Gaya!
In 1st place with 325 housepoints is Sapi!
Our congratulations go to the Sapi Sunbears for their first win this half term! Who will we be celebrating next week?
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS!! GO SULUG SHARKS!!!
I hope many of you were at the receiving end of the random acts of kindness our Primary students were performing this week for the Dojo challenge! It was great to see just how many ways our wonderful students showed they could help and be kind to those around them. I hope that this continues as they choose to do more random acts of kindness! Don’t forget, World Kindness Day is November 13th. A perfect time to practice more random acts of kindness!
