Learning to think, to do, to be

Ako ki te whakaaro, ako ki te mahi, ako kia ora ai te mauri

Our Vision: To provide a teaching and learning environment where of those involved: demonstrate respect, expect the best, achieve through opportunity, communicate actively & feel good and safe

As we know there is a saying "It takes a village to raise a child" We are very fortunate to be a member of our Kāhui Ako o Kōhanga Moa in which all sectors of education are joining together with community, iwi, hapu, whanau and business to do just that here in Inglewood. Our goal is to grow good citizens who will ' learn the trick of standing upright here'. We like to add on to this - 'like a Moa" which makes the nod to our Inglewood / Kōhanga Moa (Moa nest) beautifully.

We as teachers and learners together are working hard to understand and utilise perceived differences as strengths for future growth. We came across this wonderful short clip for all to enjoy. Every single one of us are teachers in the life of our children, not just those who chose education as a career and vocation.

Next Tuesday 17th September we will be taking sports teams, Year 8 and School Leader photos. Please collect an envelope from the school office.

PLEASE bring your sports uniforms for the photos. Thank you

Expect to be and do the best you can.

TE REO: Ko te tumanako kia kaha, kia pai te mahi.

We are looking out for adults to be support people for three of our teams in Yr 5-8. You do not

have to be a sports coach, you just need to sub on and off and direct the teams a little. Without

adults the teams cannot go. Thanks to the offer of one parent so far we have 3 teams covers.

A fun day to be had on Tuesday 24 September with a postponement day of Thursday 26 September.

We will be departing at 0930 by bus.

Each student will need: some warm clothing including a coat (this runs in the rain is only called off in extreme weather), plenty of water to drink, snacks and lunch.

Running shoes are recommended for runners.

First race of 9 and under starts at 11am.

Students should run between two flags or within 5 m of a single flag.

Thought about feeding our pigs Marmite & Toast? You have a new scrap bin from the council that would be handy for you to bring along when you are walking your child/children to school. Wow farm life and experiences at our door. We will readily take these scraps.

We all have a right to quality air. Thank you for respecting this and enforcing this.

Thank you the 52 parents who have responded to our survey thus far. We neglected to put an area, where you can record your phone number (no name) so we can put you in the

draw for the prizes. Please send a quick email through to office@inglewood.school.nz

For those of you yet to complete the survey please take the time to complete it as your voice is important to us. We have over 500 parents and would love to hear from each and everyone of you.. We undertake community surveys every three years so this is your year.

1 parent has offered help so far! We need more help. (Buddy up with someone)

There have been a number of problems on the Miro Street pedestrian crossing. The traffic and

congestion are making it difficult for our young students to manage. We need parents to step up

and support us with manning this morning 0830-0855 and afternoon 1455-1515, like our few lovely

volunteers are doing now. HELP please. Contact the office to add your name to the roster assist

with the safety of our children. Many hands make light work. We would like to not have students

manning this in the near future as the traffic is increasing.

The elearning team led by Mrs Alice Smith have our new ICT User Agreements ready to distribute. These went out in hard copy to all students a couple of weeks ago Please ensure you read them WITH your child, sign them and return them to the Office. Debbie and Mia will document the returned agreements . Please note, if we do NOT have the agreement back, for your child/children there will be NO access for them to our school devices.

We understand that on enrolment there is a wealth of information to read and understand, so each week, we will re share snippets to ensure clarity for all.

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.

Yummy Stickers: Please return all part or full sheets of stickers to the school office by 16 September so we can redeem them for sports equipment for our school. Please remember to continue collecting these throughout the year. Thank you for your support.

Sports Uniforms: Please check your cupboards, under beds, drawers etc for any sports uniforms that belong to the school office. We have a lot not returned. Thank you

School Accounts: Please ensure your Term 3 ECF payments are paid by the end of Term.

· Teachers begin supervision at 8.30am.

· It is school policy to release the children promptly at 3.00 pm. and to encourage them to make their way home immediately so that parents have an expectation of the time they will return home.

There is only one access entrance to the school. We would ask that parents reinforce to children the need to be watchful when entering and exiting the school grounds. Pedestrians should use the footpath and avoid using the drive entrance when entering / leaving the school.

With the new subdivision “Hodge Park “ being built behind Inglewood Primary, there is NO ACCESS through the site until it is Offically opened from AG Building Contractors

Pupils should use the other building entrances to get to their respective classrooms.

Taranaki has had several cases of people with measles. We don’t have an outbreak at the moment but more cases are likely because of the large outbreak in Auckland.

Now is a very good time to make sure everyone in your whanau has protection against measles. Children should be vaccinated on time at 15 months and four years of age.

If you don’t think you are immune to measles you need to make an appointment with your GP clinic for an MMR vaccination.

Please be patient if you can’t be vaccinated straight away. It is not possible to vaccinate everyone at once.

The risk of catching measles in Taranaki is still low.

Taranaki DHB has a new measles FAQs page which aims to answer questions you might have about measles. Click the link below to view the FAQs, which can also be reached via the Taranaki DHB website home page.

Once we have had the safety briefing, you will have 10 minutes to carefully study your map to decide which way you will go. There are a number of routes. You want to gather as many points as you can in two hours. We are using tracks in the garden - the road cannot be used at any time.

The aim of the race is to meet as many conservation legends doing awesome work in Taranaki as you can. Talk to them and fill out your answer sheet, then race to talk to the next legend. There will also be codes and bonus points you must get.
