Our Share & Celebrate events are a time to acknowledge and celebrate ākonga (students) who have been noticed doing something great. This can be for anything from an act of kindness, to great efforts in learning or taking care of the environment. If you have fabulous things your have been doing outside of school that you would like to share and celebrate, please email the details to your child's whānau teacher.
The end of term Share and Celebrate includes the presentation of our termly Amesbury Awesomeness Awards. There are two of these awards given to each hub per term. Well done to all of our students who have been celebrated today.
We would also like to congratulate our amazing student leaders who planned and led the celebration - Sueli and Tiffany. You did a great job of planning, organising and presenting. Ka pai!
