AVONHEAD SCHOOL IS 60 YEARS YOUNG! AND IS HAVING A REUNION!

Charles from Avonhead

Avonhead School started in May, 1959 and educated thousands of students over 60 years. Some of our 'first day' pupils have approached us and asked to have an opportunity to (a 'low-key') get together at the school.

To celebrate our 60th Birthday, we would like to invite you to join us on: Saturday, 23 November

Planned events include tours of the school with a slideshow of recent developments in the afternoon from 2pm-4pm, afternoon tea and an opportunity to catch up with others and a get-together at Riccarton Racecourse in the evening.

If you would like to come to the afternoon only, there is a $10 registration fee (non-refundable) which you can pay on-line. If you want to join us in the Evening at Riccarton Racecourse for a meal as well, it will cost you a further $60.00

We would love to have you join us if you have attended Avonhead School. Please tell others who may be interested.

Go-to our website - front page for more information and details how to register: www.avonhead.school.nz...

“Giggly girt! Giggly girt!”

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.

Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.

My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.

I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.

I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.

I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”
