WEEKLY HOUSEPOINT TOTALS
Despite a return to online learning, our Primary students have continued to show the qualities we find throughout our Houses; hard work, commitment and a great attitude to their learning. Whilst the overall totals were smaller than those we’ve seen in recent weeks, the battle for top place in the weekly Housepoint championship was close and fierce. Only 8 points separated all 3 Houses.
This week, the housepoints we awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place, with 124 housepoints is Sapi!
In 2nd place with 128 housepoints is Gaya!
In 1st place with 132 housepoints is Sulug!
Congratulations to Sulug Sharks for their first win this term! How close will the race for first place be next week??
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS
