Avebury House

Today Richmond School walked to Avebury House to help begin the celebrations of the official reopening of this beautiful community house. We went armed with our ukuleles, our best singing voices, gifts and morning tea. Matua Pete Mason kindly supported us by leading the karakia and korero. Our tamariki then sang and played some of the waiata that we had learnt for the music concert. Whaea Alice then gifted the gorgeous Tapa Quilt that the children had made last term to Avebury House. The quilt along with the school's honours board and old school bell were part of a collection of precious items that have been gifted to Avebury House. It's nice to think that a part of our school will live on in this treasured building. 

So if you get a chance to take a stroll to Avebury House take a picnic and sit on the lawn and enjoy this part of history that has thankfully survived and stands proudly, protecting some of the Richmond Community history. Thank you Avebury House for the support and kind gifts that you have given us over the years and all the best for your reopening.
