What's on this week?
2024 Whānau Information
All parents should, by now, have received an email from each of your child/rens' whānau teachers with all the information needed to get you started for 2024. If you have not received anything, please contact your child/rens' whānau teacher.
Mihi Whakatau - 2.15pm on Tuesday
All of our Amesbury whānau are invited along to this term's Mihi Whakatau being held in the hall on the first day of school - 2.15pm Tuesday 30 January. We have a large number of new ākonga and kaiako joining the Amesbury whānau.
Meet 'n' Greet - this Friday @ 4.30pm
We will be holding a meet & greet on Friday this week (2 February) starting at 4.30pm. We will provide pizza and a sausage sizzle as well as supervision of the tamariki while you attend the short presentations.
It is a great opportunity to come and say hello to the kaiako in your child's team, be introduced to new kaiako joining our school, and find out more about how the hubs will operate this year.
For all the details - including the timing of each hub's presentation - please read this article.
We look forward to having you all come along.
Co-curricular Lessons
All students who are continuing with their co-curricular lessons in Term 1 have already secured their places by paying their invoices. Particularly with last year's Year 6s having left we have spaces available in all of our lessons, although some are limited and we have a first come - first served policy.
If you know nothing about the lessons please read the Co-curricular Lessons article and also our webpage. Please email John (communications@amesbury.school.nz) if you have any questions or you wish to sign your child up. It really is as easy as that.
Touch Rugby - Registrations close Sunday 4 February
If your tamariki are interested in playing touch rugby this term for a school team please read the info in Rupert's Notice and fill in a registration. Don't dally because registrations close on Sunday 4 February at 8pm. Coaches are also required if you are in a position to help out.
If you have any questions please contact Rupert (rupert@amesbury.school.nz) directly.
It's a Sunhat Term
Students are required to wear a named Amesbury School sunhat when outside during Terms 1 and 4 - this includes during all breaks and while outside during school time. Sunhats are $15.00 and can be purchased via Kindo - the online school shop. Please order in advance so there's time to collect and clearly label before they are needed. Orders can take up to 24 hours to be processed. Orders submitted overnight and in the morning before school starts will not be issued or available to collect until after 2.30pm. Children without sun hats will need to stay in the designated shaded areas during break times.
