This week is no exception and I wonder how many more times I will be able to relish in whole families celebrating their success and achievements on the same day! Even more excitingly this week, we also presented the first of our Gold Awards for earning 120 housepoints! What a wonderful achievement and cause for extra celebration!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our Zoom assembly, we shared names of pupils throughout Primary who earned an award and are so proud of their achievements.
