This digest is a
summary of the main recent BLOG Posts with links to the full posts.
Amesbury Digest: This is a trial version of
a digest as we attempt a more personalised approach to communication from the
school. That is, we are exploring how we can enable parents to choose the level
of information and access to information they would like. For those who do not
want to read the more expansive BLOG Posts or access school information outside
of their email accounts, we are providing a summary of the posts with links to
the online BLOG so that you can decide whether to seek further information or
not.

Our High Five: You
don’t even have to look carefully to see that “Our High Five” are everywhere.
These are the values and principles that are really important in learning and
living at Amesbury School. They are on the sign at the end of the drive. You
will see them on windows and doors. This prevalence is to ensure that we keep
thinking about living and learning with Excellence (always realising my
potential), Connecting and Including (learning to live together), Creating and
Enquiring (learning to learn), Authenticity (being the best me) and
Sustainability (ensuring a better future). For more information and the “Story
of the Hand” follow this link: http://amesburydrive.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/our-high-five-valuesprinciples-and.html
