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

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
