It is fantastic to be back!

I am sooooo excited to be back amongst all the hum, buzz, smiles and hugs which is on offer everyday here at IPS. I wish to sincerely thanks our very supportive Board of Trustees, Parent Link, Staff our school and wider community for your ongoing aroha and support - we as a family are extremely grateful to you all.

A special mention to Mr Phillip Reade who has been Acting Principal and the amazing support of Mrs Candice Bailey, Mr Michael Bucksmith, Mrs Debbie Carter, Mrs Mia Midgely and the AMAZING Staff here at IPS. The team has kept the educational cogs turning over the past 17 school weeks, while I was away and I couldn't be prouder of them.

The beautiful welcoming reactions from our tamariki and whanāu has absolutely filled my bucket over the past two weeks - thank you all.
