Inglewood Primary School

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

Well as Shania Twain once said "it looks like we made it!" As we bring our 2020 educational year to a close, we can all be very proud of who we are, how we have responded and contributed to the wellbeing and success of others.

The year we have navigated, what no one, in this present day has ever done before and that makes us a part of the global history of the world. Our thoughts continue to be with our staff and whanau who are facing challenging times, please know our love and strength is with you. #ipsrightbehindya

Congratulations and thank you to all whanau, tamariki, staff, BoT and Parentlink, while the year has been tough, the sparkles of sunshine amongst the dark have been valued and appreciated.

On a personal note, I can share my surgery went very well, the cancer was removed and I will be back on deck for the start of the 2021 year. Many thanks to those who have personally contacted me, left offerings at my door and provided lovely kai. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated and has aided in my recovery thus far. I set a personal goal to attend both, junior and senior prize givings, seeing the staff, children and whanau certainly filled my bucket.

Finally, I hope you all have a fantastic summer break, with family and friends as we prepare to refuel in readiness for an exciting (hopefully COVID free) 2021.

Take care of each other and thank you again

We love our new way of strengthening our home-school partnership.

We start this off with a “Learning Transition Partnership Day” which will be Monday 1 February.

On this day we will be having 15 minute slots with each student and family in their homeroom class.

This time slot is about informing the 2021 teacher of anything they will need to know about your child, socially, wellbeing, learning difficulties, or special talents and skills they may have

We will learn about your child’s and family’s strengths and ideas you may have to contribute to learning opportunities at school.

Our teachers will be focussed on each family, listening and planning for a successful 2021.

We encourage all families to attend, even if you or your child knows their 2021 teacher. Our feedback from 2020 has highlighted that this is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive transition into our new school year..We look forward to seeing you.
