Graduation Dinner
We are very much looking forward to celebrating with our Year 6 students. They have all grown so much in their time at Amesbury School and we are excited to be sending such capable young people onto intermediate. Here is the general outline of the evening.
5:30pm Mix and mingle, drinks and snacks
6:00pm Formal welcome, dinner and dessert
6:45pm Year 6 speeches, more snacks
7:20pm Closing speech, farewell
*Please note that the graduation dinner will be held in the hall at Amesbury School.
Most Year 6s like to get dressed up for this event and we love seeing the outfits they have chosen. If you are wondering what you should wear, casual formal is the way to go.
Day in Town
For our Year 6 day in town, we have one group heading into town for a blast at Timezone (website) followed by some Christmas shopping; the other group will be heading to the Penthouse in Brooklyn to watch Combat Wombat (trailer).
We will be using public transport (bus) to and from our destinations. This enables students who are nervous about catching a bus next year to practice using a snapper card and talking to the bus driver, if necessary. Please note that the school has a limited number of snapper cards so most students will not be able to practise with them. If any children have their own snapper cards, they may like to bring them along to practise with.
To help us spot the Amesbury children more easily, we ask that students wear their school uniform, including their hat and fleece, and appropriate shoes. They will also need to bring a drink bottle and something to eat for morning tea.
