HOUSEPOINT TOTAL
After two short weeks, thanks to all the public holidays, Primary smashed the 1,000 points and earned a massive 1,458 housepoints altogether. What a great total and what a great testament to all the hard work and amazing achievements Primary students continue to produce. With only a few short weeks until the end of the year, the battle to find out who is our overall Housepoint Champion this year is really hotting up and every housepoint counts towards finding who will take the title this year! Keep working hard Primary and we’ll find out our overall winners soon!
This week, Year 6 were victorious as the Class Champions! They earned an average of 13 housepoints per pupil for all their hard work! Well done Year 6! We are very proud of you all!
In the weekly battle, the battle between the three Houses was super close with only a couple of housepoints separating everyone. The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 484 housepoints is Sapi!
In 2nd place with 486 housepoints is Gaya!
In 1st place with 488 housepoints is Sulug!
Our congratulations go to Sululg Sharks who clinched another victory this week in Term 3!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!
DOJO CHALLENGE
Primary students shared some wonderful photos as part of our latest Life Thru a Lens challenge for the theme “My Year at KIS”, showing their reflections from an amazing year in school. It was amazing to see all the highlights and special memories shared from an action packed and busy school year. Our Primary staff are voting on their favourite photos shared from the year’s reflections and we look forward to sharing the results with you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we’re excited to announce that the Sulug Sharks were victorious as the Dojo challenge champions, clinching victory with just one more person submitting an entry to the challenge. Well done to Sulug and everyone who took part in this challenge!
