Congratulations everyone! We cannot wait until we are back in school when we can present you with your Awards! Which awards will we present next week?

A short week led to a smaller overall total for housepoints collected by all 3 houses, yet it was still an exciting battle for the top spot in the race for the Weekly Champion. For the second time this year we saw two of our houses tie for first place!! Third place were only 9 points behind, showing just how close the battle was and it leaves me feeling super excited about what will happen in the last few weeks of the year!

This week, the housepoints we awarded to each team was:

In 2nd place with 189 housepoints is Gaya!

In JOINT 1st place with 198 housepoints is Sapi and Sulug!

Congratulations to the Sunbears and Sharks for their joint win in this final term! How close will the race for first place be next week??

GO GAYA PANGOLINS!    GO SAPI SUNBEARS!        GO SULUG SHARKS

It was wonderful to see all the different games KIS is playing and it certainly looked like everyone who participated in this challenge was having lots of fun playing games!! Sulug were the winners of the challenge and I can’t wait to see what challenges are completed this week! Let’s go KIS!
