Amesbury Officially Open

Although we opened our doors to students in February yesterday marked the Official Opening of Amesbury School complete with an opening ceremony, VIPs, speeches, concert, and in the evening a disco for the kids. Hekia Parata, the Minister of Education, formally opened the school then was taken on a school tour by students.  She visited the library and showed great interest in what the children were doing and why.  The children in turn explained what they were doing and answered her questions.  She ended up rather behind schedule at the end and had to hurry off in time to catch a plane to Christchurch.
