HOUSEPOINT AWARD
Despite this half term being so short, Primary have worked hard and this was reflected in the numbers of Housepoint Awards we have presented over the last 2 weeks. It was extremely exciting to be able to present the first of our Gold Awards this week and I am certain it won’t be long before even more of these outstanding achievements will be celebrated by more students throughout Primary!
Please join me in congratulating the following outstanding students!

HOUSEPOINT TOTAL
Our new term continues with students across our 3 Houses showing their hard work, commitment and dedication to their learning as we celebrated Primary earning an impressive 954 housepoints altogether!
Our Weekly Class Housepoint Winner remained as Year 6 who earned an impressive 9 housepoints per pupil. Well done Year 6! What an awesome start to our new term!
Now that just leaves us wondering who the House winners are! As usual, it was a close battle with only a few housepoints separating our 3 houses!
The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 310 housepoints is Sulug!
In 2nd place with 321 housepoints is Gaya!
In 1st place with 323 housepoints is Sapi!
Our congratulations go to Sapi Sunbears for their first win in this second term! Who will we be celebrating as Housepoint Champions next week?!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!
