We are in the final two weeks of Term 2 as of Monday. We wish to thank all parents and community for the support all staff and children have been afforded at IPS over this exceptional half year.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our Student Led Conferences in the last week . We are celebrating Puanga alos, so please come in and have some time with us and or a bowl of soup.

While we are looking forward to the next two weeks, we are also looking forward to the July break. Some of our staff have not had a break since late January and it will be a nice time to refuel the tank.

Please lock these in as there will be NO ability to take students on these days.

The Government is considering an additional National Holiday, IF by chance one of our days is chosen, we will make another day for the Staff Only Day.

If you would like to help this young man break the world record, please drop your keyrings and key chains to the school office and we will send them off.

This is my son Jacob. He has Aspergers. This is one of the only photos I have of him smiling. A very rare occasion. He is turning 16 this year in September. He is key ring obsessed and one day would like to break the world record for keyrings and key chains (Only 62,200 to go )

I know it’s a few months away but I would like to surprise him with as many as I can. If you would like to send him a key ring from wherever you are in the world would be amazing.
