Tumuaki Korero - Principal's Message
Last week, we celebrated kindness with Pink Shirt Day at Inglewood. We teach our tamariki to use kind words and actions daily as part of our REACH values: Respect, Expect, Achieve, Communicate and Hauora. Promoting kindness is an integral part of our curriculum, just like reading, writing, and math. We work diligently to resolve disputes among children, as conflict is a natural part of learning. Teaching children the skills to navigate these situations is critical. To clarify any confusion about what constitutes bullying, we have included a chart in this newsletter that clearly defines it.
As we approach the middle of the term, there are many exciting opportunities for our tamariki. Our students are actively participating in EPro 8, E Velocity, Kaitiakitanga (such as possum trapping), Maths Challenges, and various Arts programs. We also have inter-school games, including rippa and football, coming up. Seeing our tamariki enjoying these activities and taking pride in representing our school is wonderful.
The weather is quite changeable at the moment, so please send an extra layer of clothing with your child. Have a fabulous week.
