Amesbury School Board By-election Update
We received three nominations for the two available spaces for parent representatives on the school board. We will therefore be running an election.
Voting papers have been sent out to all eligible parents/caregivers on the voting roll.
The poll closes at 4pm on Wednesday 23rd April - a ballot box will be situated in the school reception area for hand delivered voting papers.
Postal votes will be accepted until 5pm on Monday 28th April and votes will be counted on Tuesday 29th April and results will then be announced.
Elected parent representatives will take office from Wednesday 30th April.
Easter Raffle - Tickets now available
Tickets for the Easter raffle are now available on Kindo at $2 per ticket. The draw will be made on the last day of this term (11 April).
All proceeds will go towards the cost of our end of year camps.
A big thanks to the Pōhutukawa whānau for donating the items for the raffle.
