Co-curricular Lessons in Term 3

Our co-curricular lessons are proving increasingly popular, especially with the addition of both Cricket & Chess this year. But there is so much more.

Sign up for any co-curricular classes from the range offered. We may even be able to provide individual lessons in additional instruments - please ask John. With classes commencing this coming week (Week 1), now is a perfect time to do so.

Read all about our co-curricular classes here, and contact John to sign up and with any questions that you may have.

Home Learning Activities

Urs has put together a few key resources that you can use with your tamariki at home to support their learning.

Please take a few minutes to look at the resources and use whatever suits you.

This Resource List will be included in the Amesbury Digest each week as an easy way to find the resources.
