This week we welcome Hezakaiah Taitoko and Braxton Ward to Inglewood Primary School.

to Jamari Hayward, Kairi Ellis, Samuel Aitken, Ella Falconer, Ana-Maria Jones, Levi and Khanye Kingi who are celebrating their birthday's this week.

We are very excited to have Rowena Taylor back with us here at IPS. Ro has a wealth of knowledge and talents and is here to assist us within the classroom setting.

Rhianna Chard - For involving herself in all aspects of school life. Keep pushing yourself to try new things, you are a credit to IPS!

Earlier this year we purchased a hand bike as part of providing resources to ensure equity and access to all students improving Health and Fitness.

We are very grateful to the group of schools who supported the fundraiser at the latest LEAD 2019 Conference last Friday by way of purchasing Pizza's for Lunch, which raised $...... We are also very grateful to whanau / families who purchased recent photos through Photo Life recently as we raised 4.... We are still looking for other donations to assist with the full purchase price of the handbike, so if you know of any business who may be looking to support EQUITY in education, please get them to contact us here at IPS.

Equity and equality are two strategies we can use in an effort to produce fairness. Equity is giving everyone what they need to be successful. Equality is treating everyone the same. Equality aims to promote fairness, but it can only work if everyone starts from the same place and needs the same help

Year 6: Speakers in order Noah Dalliston, Ethan Farquhar, Caoimhe Leslie-Ellis and Malia Walker who will be the timekeeper.

Moot: Why school libraries are outdated.

When: Monday12 August 9:30am start.

Where: Library

We wish them well for the debate. May the talk be with you!

The competition against Norfolk School was a huge success with our students performing with confidence and gaining much from the experience, thinking on the hoof, to come up with rebuttals against the oppositions argument.

Year 8: Erini Fruean won best speaker, and Rhianna Chard second best speaker and the team took the win, with Cameron Ker the third team member. Thanks to Amber Storer who was the time keeper for this round.

Year 7: Matthew Tee won third speaker with the team narrowly losing to Norfolk. William Young and Capri Peterson also spoke really well with great maturity, especially working as a team. Maddison Tubby was the time keeper.

We are exceptionally proud of the way the students supported each other and our Year 6 team eagerly took notes and are excited for their turn on Monday.

The teachers and support staff of Inglewood Primary School are joining with their colleagues all over the country today Friday 9 August to call on the government to give primary and intermediate principals a fair deal. And we need your support as we stand up for our principal and all principals.

Teachers recently won pay parity with their secondary colleagues, because a teacher is a teacher, regardless of the age of their students. But the government refused to give primary and intermediate principals parity with principals of comparably sized secondary schools, or any support for growing workloads. In small schools, principals are doing a complex job but often without any extra support, and while teaching as well. And these principals are often paid less than some teachers in large schools.

We're calling on the Government to do the right thing by principals. It's only fair.

Today 9 August, we are dressed in green. Thank you for supporting the principals of Aotearoa, who do such a vital job leading the teaching and learning in our schools.

As you know, we were delighted to be part of the Taranaki Young Leaders Conference last Friday. The students and adults were inspired in so many ways. The opening performance from the West Town Kapa Haka group was outstanding. The organisation of the Lead Committee, ably lead by Allen Mazengarb was superb. Our student attendees took various phrases from the day and utilise the messages as they go about their day. The theme for the day was "it's what is on the inside which counts" We were privileged to have former pupils; Jessica Mehana and Parris Mason together with our staff member Michael McMillian and local Inglewoodian Erica Perry speak on the day amongst the line up. Enjoy the pics below.

It is quite nice to have a couple of cold crisp evenings to assist with eliminating winter bugs for human, animal and plant life. We are looking forward to potting up seedlings in readiness to have plants in our gardens.

We have had suggestions fro our staff that we could build a gate stall to assist with selling the produce when ready at the gate. If you would love to come and help staff and students with this project, pop into our kura and touch base with one of our fabulous support staff team and let's make this happen.

School Absence: If your child is absent from school for any reason, please leave a message on the school answer phone or use the School App. Please state name and reason why the child is away. Thank you.

We need more clear 1.25 litre and 2.25 litre bottles. If you have an interest in assisting with environmental projects please contact Mrs Ritchie who would love some support. We have a lot of projects and the Enviro Crew work most Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes on projects.

Thank you to all those that park in the appropriate places and walk their students across the Kea Crossing. Look out, we will be catching those ‘being good’ on random days. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING YOU.

We can have up to 9 buses call through our bus stop and school zone with 4-5 stopping to drop off students.

Do not drop your students off in this space. Feel free to drive around the block or drop them off in Hinau Street.

We pass on vehicle details to the Police of those who put our students’ safety at risk. Don’t be one of them! (Parking/stopping in a bus stop (even if you are sitting in the car and only stop for a moment) is a ticketable offence of $60)
