As you are aware, we have had to make changes to our EOTC week. Please read on to find out the final details and costs.

Monday 29th of November and Tuesday 30th November

We will be staying at school.

Wednesday 1st December

We have planned a trip to Awesome Bounce in Porirua. We will leave school at 10:30 am and return by 3 pm. No parent help is required for this trip.

Thursday 2nd December

We have planned for a Teddy Bear picnic at Churton Park Reserve during the day. We will walk to Churton Park Reserve and enjoy a morning of games and outdoor activities. We will leave school at 9:30 am and return to school by 1 pm. If it is wet, we will stay at school and have an indoor picnic in the hall.

You are welcome to join us on this morning trip. However, with the recent government vaccine mandate, Amesbury requires that all external helpers provide evidence that they have had at least one covid vaccine shot by the date of the programme. Please let your whānau teacher know that you would like to help and send evidence of your vaccination to Urs: urs.cunningham@amesbury.school.nz (unless you have already done this).

That same day (Thursday 2 December), the children who have already signed up will have the opportunity to stay for an overnight camp at school. All children will go home at 3:00 pm and those planning to sleep at school will return to school at 5:00 pm (in mufti) with their gear. We will have a shared dinner then sleep overnight in the hub.

Friday 3rd December

We will have a shared breakfast for those who have stayed over and pack up the hub. We will also provide morning tea and lunch for those who have stayed overnight. The children who do not stay overnight can arrive back at school from 8:30 am as usual with their morning tea and lunch. They are welcome to wear mufti too.
