What a fabulous community we live in here in Inglewood Kōhanga Moa.

Many thanks to the fabulous members of Parent Link who dedicated their time and energy over the last two huge events for our school / kura. These being the Christmas night market and Taranaki Tu Mai Event. A small group of Parent Link - they don't like to be publicly thanked, however ,they know who they are, committed huge amounts of time to attending all day on Saturday here at IPS as we assisted with hosting Taranaki Tu Mai softball part of the two day event. We had steak sandwiches, sausage sizzle, lunch packs and drinks available through out the day.

Many, many thanks also to the large number of IPS Staff who gave up their personal time in support of the event also. We had Mystery Bottle Table (thanks to Pouakai staff and parents), Mega Slide and our pool open as entertainment throughout the day.

It is events such as these which assist us to raise our public profile within our community and share our wonderful community school. Thank you all.

This week our Dinner Dance has been the main focus for our graduating Y8s. Mrs Kelly Edwards and her team of staff and parent helpers have been busy planning and preparing for the event tonight. The Inglewood Town Hall looks amazing and we are sure that all graduating Y8s will value and appreciate the time and effort that has gone into this event.

Following a week of excited planning and preparation, today Panitahi O students visited Marinoto Rest Home. Full of enthusiasm, the children sang, recited poems and danced. Nonoi Fruean presented a very moving speech about her great-great-grandfather.

Then children read the special Christmas cards they had made to their new friends, found out about their lives and passions and played snakes and ladders.

Our students and the residents were all delighted with the visit and are very keen to repeat the experience

Taytum Gude assisted by her mum Lisa had a fun filled activities morning as part of the Adopt a Class School Council Programme. The team made chocolates fo all the members of Panitahi P and the Sensory Pod - well done Taytum.

A selection of our students were lucky enough to take part in kayaking lessons where they are learning Eskimo rolls and handling the kayaks.

Congratulations to Taylor Bailey who also competed in the Taranaki Track & Field events for Year 7 & Year 8.

Last weekend Jazmynn Bailey, Harper Bailey and Anahera Martin competed in theTaranaki Under 12 Swimming Champs in Stratford. They all performed extremely well and gained medals.
