Expressions of Interest - Individual singing lessons

We have the possibility of including individual singing lessons as part of our co-curricular offering. If you have a child that may be interested in pursuing this, can you please email Rachael van Rij on communications@amesbury.school.nz as soon as possible.  Please note, at this stage these would be individual lessons for 30 minutes at a cost of $31 per lesson (8 lessons per term). We will require a certain number of students in order to pursue this opportunity.

Another message from Koru Hub!

We are spending the next three weeks making and creating! Can you please send to school the following "cleaned" items so that we have plenty of things to create with: fizzy bottles, milk bottles, small boxes ie mini cereal boxes, muesli bar boxes, tubes (but not toilet rolls), egg cartons, tin cans (smooth edged only) polystyrene or packaging etc. Basically anything you might normally put out with your recycling. Thanks!
