We selected 6, well known and much loved Bornean animals that the children voted between to become the new House Mascot. The animal mascot choices included pangolins, turtles, sunbears, orangutans, elephants and sharks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The votes are in, they have all been counted and checked and I am excited to be able to reveal which animals will become our House mascots!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are excited to develop the school Houses with their new animal mascot representing them!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first stage of this follows on from the exciting and fascinating conservation talks that Primary received over the last few weeks. We are now able to reveal an exciting Primary House competition that will develop their mascot identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Primary children are encouraged to create a drawing of their new animal mascot. They also need to research and write an interesting fact about their mascot. Winning drawings and facts will be incorporated onto a reusable bag that will be specially printed in collaboration with Helle Enderby\u2019s WildBunch Bags initiative. Bags will be available for purchase as a House bag and will be 100% non-profit, with the school donating all money made from the sale of these bags to conservation projects based in Sabah.\"\"<\/a>

WEEKLY HOUSEPOINT AWARDS<\/p>\n

Another batch of Bronze Housepoint Awards were presented to children from Key Stage 2 in Primary this week. They have been working hard all year to earn their 40 housepoints, which this certificate recognises.<\/p>\n

The hard work will continue after our half term break and I\u2019m excited to see who we will be presenting even more awards to! Who will be awarded as the first to reach the Gold Award? Only time will tell!!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the children appearing on our honour roll this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
