HOUSEPOINT TOTAL
It has been an amazing term and so many housepoints have been awarded each week to all our students throughout Primary. The battles have been close every week and this final week of Term 2 was no exception!
Collectively, Primary earned an impressive 879 housepoints and 3 classes (Year 3, 4 and 5) shared the class victory as they earned an average of 6 housepoints each!
For our House team totals, the battle was close with only a few points separating the winning House.
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 this final week of Term 2!!
We also used the weekly totals, as well as those earned from our special events throughout Term 2 to find out who is the overall winner of Term 2! The grand total of 13,882 housepoints shows just how hard Primary have worked this term! What an amazing achievement by all our fabulous students!
This grand total gave us the following House totals for Term 2:
In 3rd place with 4,607 housepoints is Gaya!
In 2nd place with 4,629 housepoints is Sulug!
In 1st place with 4,646 housepoints is Sapi!
Congratulations to Sapi Sunbears, our Term 2 Housepoint Champions!
We’d like to wish you all a very safe and happy break and we look forward to the return of our Housepoint battle in Term 3? Who will win the title each week and who will be the ultimate winner at the end of Term 3?
Only time will tell and I cannot wait to find out who it will be!
GO GAYA PANGOLINS! GO SAPI SUNBEARS! GO SULUG SHARKS!!

THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING TERM OF DOJO CHALLENGES!
We have had an amazing term of challenges and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the students and families who have participated in many of the different challenges set! It has been wonderful to share in all the fun you have had completing each weekly challenge set and I cannot wait to see the contributions you make to the exciting challenges we have coming up next term! We will be back in Term 3 with more challenges for you to complete!
In our last Term 2 challenge, “A Slice of Pi”, many students took up the different Pi themed activities and created some fabulous artwork, jewellery, sweet treats and even showed their amazing memory skills! Well done to everyone who took part. A special shout out to our Sulug Sharks who were the Dojo Challenge Champions in the final challenge this term!
We hope you enjoy this short compilation video highlighting the wonderful entries and challenges completed across Term 2!
Our final morning of this term was spent working with our House teams as we participated in a multitude of fabulous activities planned out by our wonderful Primary staff. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to see all the activities being completed across the school and it was great to see the children participating in challenges that focussed on problem solving, team work, physical challenges as well as creative and artistic tasks. Housepoints were awarded for participation, creativity, perseverance and House spirit!
It was a close battle but Sulug Sharks were victorious after the challenges they faced all morning, with a grand total of 1,323 housepoints! Well done Sulug Sharks!
Many thanks to the Primary staff, without whom these special events would not be possible, They certainly ensured that Term 2 ended with an event that will provide our students with more happy memories to add to their time at KIS!
We wish you all a safe, happy and restful break and look forward to seeing you in Term 3 for more House fun and challenges!
