Term 3 at Amesbury School
You should all have received this Term 3 article from your Tamariki's whānau teacher.
Please take the time read through it.
School Photos
If you haven't already heard, the school photos are now available for viewing and purchase.
Apart from obtaining a memory of the time your tamariki had at Amesbury and as they grew and developed, it is also an opportunity to further assist in our school fundraising. The fundraising period for this gallery will finish at midnight on Sunday 4th August 2024
Urs sent you all a HERO notice on 8 July with all of the details, so please refer back to that so that you can access the photos and place your order.
Co-curricular Classes in Term 3 - Commence this week
If your tamariki are interested in taking one or more co-curricular lessons for Term 3 please sign up without delay as lessons commence this week.
We have a wide range of activities which cater for all levels - Years 1-6 and beginner to accomplished.
For information about our co-curricular programme please view our webpage and if you have any questions that aren't covered or you wish to sign up please contact John (communications@amesbury.school.nz).
Contribute to our Whānau Kai Compendium
Do you have a favourite kai (food or snack) that you would like to share with the Amesbury whānau? If so send it in and we will send out a digital recipe book at the end of this term.
It's as easy as 1,2,3 - have a read, organise what you want to send in, and send it.
Clothing backup - for All Students please
With winter here, so is the rain, puddles and mud. Please pack a spare set of shorts/track pants/leggings, and underpants in the school bag (for all ages) with a plastic bag to put the wet clothes in, and let your child know that they are there for them to get changed into.
For some children it can be quite embarrassing or upsetting when they unexpectedly become wet or dirty (particularly if there isn't anything for them to change into) or they don't like what is available. We only have a very small range of spares so are not able to cater for all "requests" and sizes (particularly size 8 plus).
Lunch Orders
If you run out of lunchbox supplies, have a lot going on, like the idea of kids having a meal at lunchtime or simply want to do a treat lunch, we have a few options available through Lunchonline menus and school via Kindo:
Lunchonline/Wednesday - Nada Bakery's range includes pies and filled breads
Lunchonline/Wednesday - Fusion Food Haus offers Halal food and kids-size warm meals
Kindo/Thursday - Cheese Pizza (including gluten free base option)
Lunchonline/Friday - Chia Sushi has a variety of sushi, dumplings and rice packs
Absence from school
The office is to be advised of all absences, before 9am by:
Absence form on the school app, Hero (preferred option for daily absence)
