HOUSEPOINT TOTAL
After a close race throughout Term 2 and an exciting finish (with our Term 2 totals being so close), there was no question that Term 3 would get off to a close and exciting start as the Weekly Housepoint Total battle resumed!
Collectively, Primary earned an impressive 879 housepoints and our Year 3 class claimed victory as the class champions, with an average of 8 housepoints per pupil!
The battle between our 3 houses was close, as we have seen on so many occasions and only a few housepoints separated the top spots.
The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 290 housepoints is Sapi!
In 2nd place with 293 housepoints is Sulug!
In 1st place with 296 housepoints is Gaya!
Our congratulations go to Gaya Pangolins who clinched the victory in for this first week of Term 3!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!

Videos should be no more than 10 seconds long and should include you telling one joke. If you want to share more than one joke, please submit separate videos.
