Kia ora to tatou whanau katoa. He mihi nui ki te hoki mai ki te kura mo te tau 2023.

I would like to welcome all of our school whānau back to school for 2023. I would like to welcome all new students and staff to Inglewood Primary School! We look forward to sharing in your learning journey.

You will be aware that we have had some major works happening on the crossing outside our School on Kelly Street as well as on Miro Street. As a result and consultation with the Police, we will not be having Road patrol students on the crossings until its completion. This is expected approx late March/early April. We will have a staff member monitoring and assisting with whānau crossing at Kelly street. Thank you to those parents that have been parking along the side streets in the morning and at hometime rather than driving up the drive. We are trying hard to keep this area clear unless cars have a 2023 car pass.

Please keep an eye on any messages home from classes as we have many events and trips throughout the term that may require parent help. The Ministry of Education in line with Inglewood Primary School policy and procedures require adequate adult to student ratios in order to allow trips and events to go ahead. Thanks for your continued support with the parent help, not only does this support our kaupapa around REACH, it promotes the true essence of WHĀNAU.

Tēnā koe. Kia u, kia pakari te piriti i waenganui i te kura me te kainga.

“May the bridge between home and school be steadfast and strong.”

Phillip Reade

Acting Principal

We are looking for some wonderful adult helpers to support our teachers with swimming sessions coming up. Simply walking down to the pool with kids and /or supervising poolside would be great. Bonus points if you have some coaching or water safety experience!! Please contact the school office 7568040 or office@inglewood.school.nz if you can help. Thanks so much.

How lucky are we?? A new season of touch starts Sunday 19th of Feb and continues on Mondays for 6 weeks. There will be a notice coming home tomorrow for all the children who indicate they would like to play. This season is $20 per player. Please contact tracy.white@inglewood.school.nz if you would like your child to play and they have not come home with a notice.

A huge thanks to Lucinda from Golf Taranaki and Taranaki futures for loaning us this awesome golf equipment for the students to 'have a go'. We are super appreciative of this opportunity. They also have give it go days and evenings for those keen golfers and families.

We have breakfast club available in all Whānau hubs in the mornings for any tamariki that would like it. A good breakfast will give a child a great start to their school day.

Our lovely parent group ParentLink is in desperate need of new members and helpers for our School Gala. This is our major fundraising event for the year. Unfortunately, if we cannot get enough parent help we will be unable to run the gala this year.

Please if you can help us on the committee or just help with Gala, come to the next meeting on Monday 13 February 7pm at Inglewood Primary School. You are more than welcome to bring your children.

For further information, please phone the school office.

Please ensure all students have their correct stationery by Monday 13 February. If you require another stationery list, please see the school office or these can be found on the school website.

If you or you know of anyone, wishing to enrol their child at Inglewood Primary School, please get them to email the Office with the child's name, date of birth, parent's name and contact number, so we can put them on our pre-enrolment list. This is for both IN ZONE and OUT of Zone Enrolments
