HOUSE NEWS 02.09.2023
Despite this week being a shorter week, our Primary students have continued to amaze us across the school as their hard work and diligent attitudes towards learning have seen more housepoints generously awarded. This week, Primary collectively earned 591 housepoints. Another great total to continue from the great start we’ve already seen. The battle between the 3 Houses was close again, but the winning House snatched victory with a 10 point lead.
The housepoints we awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 189 housepoints is Sapi!
In 2nd place with 196 housepoints is Gaya!

Our congratulations go to Sulug Sharks for their first win of this school year! Who will we be celebrating as Housepoint Champions next week?!
