Congratulations for Bronze Awards this week goes to:

Congratulations! We can’t wait to find out who we will celebrate in the weeks to come!
In the final week of this half term, Primary has continued to show the KIS attributes we always expect to see. Collectively, our wonderful students have earned an impressive 423 housepoints. The battle to find our first place winner in the Weekly Housepoint Championship was closely fought as it normally is, with the winning House clinching their victory with a small 6 point advantage!
The housepoints we awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 137 housepoints is Gaya!
In 2nd place with 140 housepoints is Sulug!
In 1st place with 146 housepoints is Sapi!
Our congratulations go to Sapi Sunbears for another win this term! Who will we be celebrating as Housepoint Champions when we return after the half term break?! We can’t wait to find out!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!
It was awesome to see all the random acts of kindness and wellbeing activities our Primary students have been performing for themselves and those around them. We hope you have all been a recipient of one of the amazing kind acts we’ve seen shared as a result of this challenge and even joined in with some of the many activities designed to help promote your wellbeing.

Life Thru a Lens competition
The return of our very popular Life Thru a Lens competition saw an amazing array of photos submitted to show the theme “My Micro Mission”. Primary students had been challenged to take a photo of an everyday item from a really close up view point. There were some really interesting photos submitted into the competition that represented this theme and our staff judges had a very difficult decision to choose the winners.
Judging and voting has been going on all week and we were proud to reveal the overall winners during our Weekly Assembly at the end of the week. One winner was chosen from each House in each Key Stage and they will have their photo printed and displayed around the school.
Please join me in congratulating the winners and admire their amazing photos for My Micro Mission!
