HOUSE NEWS 07.10.2023
It was another week of celebration as we presented 6 more hard-working students with their Bronze Housepoint Awards as they earned their first 40 housepoints! What a wonderful achievement!
Congratulations for Bronze Awards this week goes to:
Y1: Anton and Seonwoo
Y3: Kyra, Maya, Rochelle and Alicia
Congratulations! We can’t wait to find out who we will celebrate in the weeks to come!
Primary students have been hard at work yet again and the happy sound of Dojo ringing up the many housepoints earned has been heard across all our classrooms, as all students earned even more housepoints this week! Collectively, 576 housepoints were earned by all 3 Houses across all of Primary which is another terrific total! Well done to everyone who has continued helping to add to this total with the housepoints they have earned. It was a very close battle between all 3 Houses, with just a couple of points separating the first, second and third place Houses.
The housepoints we awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 190 housepoints is Sapi!
In 2nd place with 192 housepoints is Sulug!
In 1st place with 194 housepoints is Gaya!
Our congratulations go to Gaya Pangolins for another win this term! Who will we be celebrating as Housepoint Champions next week?!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!
We saw some magnificent entries to My Micro Mission challenge this week and it was a super close battle to find the winning House with the most challenge entries. However, the Gaya Pangolins just clinched the win this week so congratulations to them! We’ve compiled some of the entry photos into a celebration video. We hope you enjoy watching it and seeing some of the superb submissions! Primary staff are busy voting on their favourite entries from each House in each Key Stage and we look forward to revealing the individual winners soon!
