Our Share & Celebrate events are the perfect opportunity to celebrate our students and great things they do! We recognize everything from acts of kindness and consistent effort in learning to contributions to keeping our environment tidy—all things that reflect our Amesbury High Five values.
If your child has an out-of-school achievement you'd like to share, please email the details to their whānau teacher, and we'll happily include it in our celebration.
A huge shout-out to our student leaders, Ariana and Fabeeha, for organizing and leading this event. Ka pai!

Meera: We really notice your kindness to others and your never-give-up spirit. You’ve helped a friend pick up their food when they dropped their lunch box on the ground.
You also showed resilience when you completed your handwriting, writing tasks, and packed your bag—all while utilizing your non-dominant hand and wearing a cast. Ka mau te wehi Meera.
