School Donations - how you can help

Amesbury School - like every other school - needs to supplement the operational funding received from the government. We endeavour to enrich the learning of all of our tamariki and we, in part, look to parents and caregivers to provide donations to the school. The rational and amounts are provided here. Additionally, donations made to the school are eligible for tax credits

What are using the donations for? Please read all about it here.

Warm Winter Clothing Needed

The annual Winter Project clothing drive is back, and we need your support to ensure everyone in Wellington stays warm this winter.

If you have any warm winter items in good condition that you no longer need, please bring them in and place them in the donation box located in the school reception area.

To see more precisely what is needed please see here.
