Our fantastic Y7s already got us off to an amazing start this morning with more recycling than the bins could possibly take – it was piled up on the top too!
The credits that they earned have shot us into the lead for Credits too – just look at that compared to the other houses!
Who’s going to be the first KS4 student to get us a Commendation and put us into the lead there too?!
Great to see so many names from Samui on this list – what a talented group of athletes we have in our house! J
So proud of you guys for your superb recycling efforts this week which well and truly saw off the threat from Chang to overtake us. And it paid off big time – we’ve shot back into 2nd place overall! Well done!
Two things you can do to help us overtake the Lanta Lions again after Christmas:
1. Don’t put it in the bin!
All of those Christmas cards, all that wrapping paper, the cardboard boxes your presents come in, the cans and bottles from Christmas refreshments: don’t bin it, save them up and bring them in next term!
2. Submit to Core

Go SAMUI! 
Not our day on the pitches today unfortunately.
Thanks to everyone who gave it 100% even when they were tired from House Athletics.
