What's on in Term 1, 2025
Here is a list of what events are happening at Amesbury in Term 1.
Additionally, keep this link to our school events calendar handy to see what is going on. It will always be kept up-to-date.
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.
Mihi Whakatau - 2.15pm on Friday
All of our Amesbury whānau are invited along to this term's Mihi Whakatau being held in the hall on Friday (31 January) commencing at 2.15pm. We have a small group of new ākonga and kaiako joining the Amesbury whānau.
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 2 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 2 February. 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.
Happy new year everyone and welcome back. It is so good to see all of you again.
Next week's theme is "we are back!" I hope you are ready for all the fun we have planned - we will be playing handball, catch the tennis ball and of course some arts and crafts.
