We had a fabulous week learning about being an Upstander and playground hero. We had a poster competition as well. Winners were: Emma McLaughlin, Ari Mitchell, Lusiana Nakuta and Samantha McLaughlin. We had over 250 entries!!!

On Friday 8th March the kaiako of the Kāhui Ako o Kōhanga Moa and the Kāhui Ako o Taranaki Mohoao (Stratford) will be meeting at Stratford Primary School for a day of professional development workshops. This is an amazing opportunity to join with other schools and learn about new ways to support our tamariki.

Inglewood Primary School will not be open on this day as it is a Staff Only Day.

Taranaki Anniversary is on Monday the 11th of March, school is also closed for this day so we will see you all back on Tuesday the 12th of March.
