Share & Celebrate is a wonderful way to recognize the great things our students do, both in and out of school. We love highlighting all the ways they demonstrate our Amesbury High Five values, from being a kind friend and showing effort in their learning, to helping keep our environment tidy.
If you have a special out-of-school achievement you'd like to share, please email the details to your child's whānau teacher, and we will be happy to include it in our celebration.
A big thank you to our student leaders, Calista, Sueli, and Annie for organizing and running this event. Ka pai!

Ana: It has been clear you have made a strong connection to the inquiry topic we have been studying this term because you are always one of the first people to share your knowledge about the Pasifika culture or ask an insightful curious question to further your understanding. It has been magnificent seeing and hearing you respectfully connect with other cultures.
