Knowing if a Child is Well Enough to be at School

This is a guidance for parents and caregivers from the Ministry of Health. It provides some good practical advice especially as we are still working our way through various winter ailments.

Onesie/Oodie Day at School - Friday

The annual Onesie/Oodie Day at Amesbury will take place on Friday 11 September.

It's great to see the array of Onesies & Oodies that everyone comes to school in but more importantly the day is about fundraising for the Wellington Free Ambulance. While the service is free to users, it is certainly not cost-free to operate. This is where you come in. Please make a donation here - small or big, it all helps. Don't wait until 11 September - share your donation now so that you don't forget.

Thanks to those who have already contributed.

Term 3 - Disco! - Friday

We need your help to run this Disco - please complete the volunteer form: Helpers.

The highlight of each term is our Disco, and this term's Disco is on Friday 11 September:

  • Junior Disco (Koru/Te Rito) - 4.30-5.30pm

  • Senior Disco (Pōhutukawa) - 5.45-7.30pm

And we like to especially thank Vik at The Mortgage Company for their sponsorship of the Term 3 Disco.

Check out all the details here. Tickets and pre-ordered pizza can be purchased on Kindo.
