That's a wrap for 2024. Thank you for sharing your precious tamariki with us and make the most of your family time together over the break.
28 January 2025
This is the first day of school for 2025.
We look forward (already) to those returning next year and wish all those who are leaving us all the best in their future schooling. We have loved having you as part of the Amesbury whānau and you will always be welcome to come and visit.
We have also said a very sad farewell to some of our teachers. Thank you for the impact you have had on the lives of our tamariki and the wider whānau.
Please let the office (office@amesbury.school.nz) know, as soon as possible, of any holiday absence extending into Term 1, 2025.
Whānau Connection Hui - 27 January 2025
On the day before school starts we will be holding a Whānau Connection Hui. These will be 15 minute slots throughout the day where you can book to meet online with your child's whānau teacher to discuss issues related to your tamariki.
To find out more details and how to book please read through the Whānau Connection Hui article.
Hub structure and organisation for 2025
Urs has prepared an article which shows the Hub structure for 2025 together with kaiako (teacher) roles.
Also covered is the plan for a 15 minute connection hui (meeting) with your child's whānau teacher on the day before school starts (Monday 27 January). Next week, we will send an invitation to you for these connection hui, and explain how to book.
Co-curricular Lessons
Co-curricular reports were added to HERO earlier this week. If you have any questions please contact John (communications@amesbury.school.nz).
Our plan is to send out co-curricular invoices for Term 1 in mid January. These will be sent to all tamariki currently taking co-curricular lessons and continuing at Amesbury next year. If you wish to add or change lessons please contact John before the invoices are sent out as it reduces the administration significantly.
Please note that the cost of co-curricular lessons has increased for 2025. For more information please read this article.
