HOUSEPOINT TOTAL
Primary students are really showing their full potential throughout school as they worked hard to earn nearly 1000 housepoints collectively this week! The actual total was an impressive 972 housepoints. Well done to everyone who helped reach this total!
Our Weekly Class Housepoint Winner was Year 5 who earned an impressive 7 housepoints per pupil. Well done Year 5! What an awesome example you are setting for our school!
Now that just leaves us wondering who the House winners are! It was another super close battle this week with just a few housepoints separating each House as they battled to see who would come out on top!
The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 320 housepoints is Sulug!
In 2nd place with 325 housepoints is Sapi!
In 1st place with 327 housepoints is Gaya!
Our congratulations go to Gaya Pangolins for the win this week! Who will we be celebrating as Housepoint Champions next week?!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!
