Our Vision: To provide a teaching and learning environment where of those involved: demonstrate respect, expect the best, achieve through opportunity, communicate actively & feel good and safe

Welcome back to you all and a very special welcome to our twelve new students and families who have enrolled with us this week. We held a welcome back assembly on Monday as the weather permitted. We are holding our Powhiri next Monday 22 October 1200 for all new students who have enrolled with us since week 2 of term 3. Parents and families are very welcome to attend.

Mini Moa starts next week on Wednesday 23 October 2pm in Moa iti. We welcome all four year olds within our community to attend. Please know you do not have to be pre-enrolled at Inglewood Primary School to attend. You can come in and see how we operate and get to know us and we, you.

We have students attending the Nano Girl Science show today, which Inglewood High kindly allowed us as a Kāhui Ako o Kōhanga Moa to utilise the hall. Many thanks to Tracy Turner and Vicki Ritchie for organising this event. Check out Vicki's blurb below.

This week Mr Jones has been working alongside Puke Haupapa E with regard to possum trapping. Mr Jones had some experts from the NPDC come along and extend our knowledge in pest control.

Classes in Panitahi have had Dr Emily Watson in to assist with extending our knowledge of Rocky Shore life in preparation for the Rocky Shore trips coming up - thank you Mrs o'Connor and Dr Emily for arranging this.

This week we welcome back Ms Erin Boyde as a student teacher. Erin is a former pupil of ours here at Inglewood Primary and is completing her last pre-teaching experience in Puke Haupapa E - we are really enjoying having Erin here full time over the next several weeks.

Exciting scientific times up at Inglewood High School today, where our year 3 to 8 students thoroughly enjoyed participating in and viewing these amazing feats of science and wonder. They may come home in their quest to be science super hereos. Egmont Village, St Patricks and Waitoriki Schools joined us in this spectacular event. Some of the experiences today were levitation, hands of fire, smoke rings gliding down the aisle and super human tube inflation.

Respecting property and people.
