Our official school opening is fast approaching. This is a significant event in the life of our new school. The Honorable Hekia Parata, MP and Minister of Education, (who I found out the other day is also known as Lady Gardiner - wife of Sir Wira Gardiner) will be opening our school. It will be a whirlwind visit as the Minister has to catch a plane shortly after the event. However, we are looking forward to showing her 21st century learning at Amesbury School. Following her departure, we plan to have a day of activities to mark this very special occasion.
The timetable will be as follows:
9.20am: All attendees to be seated in the hall. Please remember to wear appropriate footwear so that our new floor does not sustain damage (e.g. no stilettos)
9.30am: Official opening
10am: Minister and official party tours the school with performances and narration by students
Morning tea provided in hall for all other guests
10.30am: Morning tea for students
11.00am Official photographs
11.45am Opening day concert (an informal concert in which student performances that were part of the Minister's tour of the school will be performed for parents and other guests). Also a special presentation will be made during this concert.
12.45pm Lunchtime – activities with Kelly Sport available
1.45pm Kelly Sport – Programme of activities
5.00pm – 6.30pm: Opening Day Disco- students go home get dressed up and come back to school ready to dance the evening away to the dulcet tones of "Disco Dave" (David Waters, parent, etablishment board member and disco afficionado). Snacks and a drink will be provided.
We hope you will be able to join us for this milestone in the life of the school.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have queries regarding this day.
