Tumuaki Korero - Principal's Message
Welcome back, Inglewood Primary School whānau, to the start of Term 2!
As we start the new term, I want to emphasise the importance of attendance. Research shows that regular school attendance is directly linked to academic success. Did you know that if a student misses just one day of school every two weeks, they miss a whole year of schooling by the age of 16? That's why every day counts!
Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in ensuring your child's regular attendance. It's a legal requirement for all students to attend school every day, and together, we must uphold this responsibility. If your child will be absent for any reason, such as illness or a cultural event like a tangi, please notify the school promptly. While family holidays and non-school-related activities are unacceptable reasons for absence, we are here to support you if you're facing challenges in getting your child to school.
At Inglewood Primary, we are committed to fostering a culture of excellent attendance. Our dedicated staff build strong relationships with students and whānau. Our school community works tirelessly to ensure every student is present, engaged, and progressing in their education.
Additionally, I want to remind everyone about the nationwide policy regarding cell phones. Cell phones must be handed into the school office before school starts.
Let's make Term 2 a time of growth, learning, and community at Inglewood Primary School. Together, we can ensure that every day of school matters for our students' future success.

School Gate
Due to safety, we have decided to close the automatic black gate full-time to all vehicle traffic. Please note the staff car park is closed to everyone except staff between 8am and 3pm. This also includes children attending Growing Kids, Swimming Lessons, and Brownies. The staff carpark and driveway are both well lit at night for your safety walking to and from the school buildings.
Dogs on School Grounds
Please note we have a no Dog Policy on the School grounds at all times. No dogs under any circumstances are to be brought on to the school grounds. This includes walking through the school, before or after hours or during the weekend. School signs are in the process of going up at both entrances to School. Thank you for adhering to our school policy.
Lost Property
We have a number of lost property clothing left at school at the end of each week. This will now be displayed every Friday afternoon for the children to check before school assembly. Please remind your children to check the lost property daily if they have lost anything. The lost property is in a blue wheelie bin as you go inside the school hall each day. Last term we collected 8 black rubbish bags of clothing on the last day of term which was not collected by students and not named.
