We are excited to celebrate all the wonderful things our students are doing, both in and outside of school, at Share & Celebrate. We're looking for great examples of how they live out our Amesbury High Five values—whether it's through kindness, hard work, success in sports or hobbies, or caring for our environment.
If your child has an out-of-school achievement you'd like to share, please email the details to their whānau teacher. We would love to know about it and celebrate the achievements!

Aarush: During lunchtime, Aarush was in the library when he noticed a younger akonga who was upset outside. Aarush didn't hesitate to step in.
