House Board

The captains have created a new way to share the house points with the school.  In the past this has been done in assembly but we are now showing the points using a board located opposite the Year 6 classrooms. It will be accessible for all Lindfield students including Junior Primary boys as they take regular trips up the stairs.  They’ll visit the board and see how their house is going. The house points board will consist of replaceable cardboard numbers on a cardboard board. The board will have the weekly total for each house, the monthly total and then the yearly table which will stop in term 4 so no one will find out who wins the much sought-after House Shield.

Merit Cards

Merit cards for each house have started now.  Many boys have received the merit cards and are making a big difference to their house. At the trophy cabinets outside the Year 6 class rooms there are now slits carved into the top of the shelf with a scale underneath.  Merit cards are put into the slits and fall onto the scales.  The weight of the cards tip the scale to the leading house.  Whoever wins each week will receive an extra house point which will go to their house total. The merit cards also let specialist teachers give out house points.

House Mascot Art Competition

This term each house will host an art competition for a mascot for each house. This means that the leaders of each house will look at every artwork and choose the one that they think will go with the house the most. For this art competition, students have to draw an animal that cannot be a Wyvern or any sort of dragon. This competition will start later this term and will be due early term 3.  A note will be sent out for more information.  There will be posters around the school as well.
