🍦 The ice cream truck is back! By popular demand, our favourite treat on wheels will be joining us again this year.

🍛 A delicious lineup is already cooking! Our wonderful volunteers will be serving up vegetable biryani - Sponsored by Vik Singh, The Mortgage Company. We will have chickpea curry and rice. The Ground Up team will be serving our Kiwiana sausage sizzle!

Our festival is a chance for our tamariki and whānau to explore foods, entertainment and traditions from the many cultures in our school community. It's one of the highlights of our year, and it's all thanks to people like you!

We'd love your help to make this year the best one yet! You could:

• 🥘 Cook a dish from your culture to share

• 💛 Sponsor a dish to help us fill the table

• 🙌 Lend a hand on the day

We'll serve food as tasters, so a single plate goes a long way. Every contribution, big or small, helps make the day special.

We've been so lucky to have amazing whānau support us over the past few years, and we can't wait to celebrate with you again!

Thank you so much to all the amazing whānau who have offered to support our Cultural Festival! We already have delicious dishes coming from Palestine, South Africa and Italy, and we can’t wait to share them with everyone.

If you’d like to get involved too, we’d love to have you! Please read the notice below, then get in touch with Kirat at kirat@amesbury.school.nz by Monday 9 November 2026.

See you there! 🌏✨
