We formally welcomed total of 20 new ākonga (students) and kaiako (teachers) into the Amesbury School whānau this week.

It is always an exciting time when we welcome new ākonga & kaiako into the Amesbury whānau and this week's mihi whakatau was no exception.

Mihimihi were given by four of our ākonga, followed by a whaikorero from Amaria.

The new ākonga were then individually presented and took their place amongst the rest of the school as tangata whenua.

As usual, we then ended the mihi whakatau with kai.
