The hard work and efforts continued as we headed to the end of this half term and Primary students continued to show the attributes we are so familiar with at KIS! We were pleased to award a collective total of 638 housepoints to all students in all Houses and cannot wait to see how many more we will earn after our short break.
Our Weekly Class winner will return after the half term break as we were too busy celebrating International Day this week! However, we did find our Weekly House Winner who clinched victory this week by only 3 housepoints!
The housepoints awarded to our 3 Houses was:
In 3rd place with 211 housepoints is Sulug!

DOJO CHALLENGE THIS WEEK!
It was wonderful to see all the photos of smiling, happy faces as Primary completed random acts of kindness and activities that spread wellbeing to themselves and everyone around them. There were so many completed bingo sheets and I am proud of everyone who took part in this challenge to help everyone’s mental wellbeing after our successful KIS Care Week.
Sapi Sunbears were victorious as the Dojo Challenge Champions this week! Congratulations to everyone who took part.
Now it’s time to find out what challenges you can involve yourself in this week.

The Fun Challenge this week celebrates our International community after our end of term International Day celebrations! Earlier in the term we celebrated our Malaysian pride for Merdeka Day. Now, you can celebrate our International Pride as you choose to celebrate the country you are originally from or a country you love! Choose one of the many countries represented by our amazing international community and produce some artwork showing the national animal of your chosen country. Or bake their national dish. You might even want to recreate a national landmark from the country you choose to identify with. Let’s show off everything that KIS has to be proud of as part of an amazing and diverse international community!
