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...

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
