We have had an exciting week of Kāhui Ako o Kōhanga Moa workshops this week including: Numeracy with Year 7-10 Kaiako, Beginning Teacher Workshop, Staff Waiata with Kapa Haka, Robotics for Support Staff, Epilepsy Training, Information workshop with Flourish, Therapeutic Pathways Trauma Informed Practice through Te Ao Māori Lens, Office Management Hui, Board Hui and a Mid Year Review Hui. The week has been full on, however very worthwhile educating educators. Many, many thanks to our Across School Lead Teachers: Lorraine Hitchcock, Tracy White, Jenny Dymond and Candice Bailey for their efforts in arranging the week.

Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 August are staff only days - please note the school will not be open for students on these days.

Our fabulous new staff car park will be opening soon. Moving the staff car park, will keep children safe walking to and from classrooms without vehicles driving around beside the hall and swimming pool area. Please note this is a staff car park only and all visitors and caregivers are required to park on the road. Thank you for keeping our children safe.

Thank you so much for your support. We have raised $301.50 today for Daffodil Day.

On Thursday August 24th our Year 7&8 Sports Exchange took place. While none of our teams made finals this year, they represented Inglewood Primary well, each having 5 games in one day. Heaps of fun was had and experience gained in the build up for next years exchange. The First XV rugby team will face off for the LInkhorne Cup against Stratford before the end of term.

Over the last few weeks some of our budding photographers have been busy preparing their photo boards for the Kahui Ako Competition. Congratulations to the following students who have gained placings. 2nd Overall - Isabelle Andrewes, 3rd Overall - Kaitlyn Henderson, Peoples Choice - Georgia Ryan & Lucy Williams, Highly Commended - Baylin Ferguson & Joshua Eberhardt.

16 teams, including Inglewood's 2 teams, 64 students competing for the coveted place in the National Finals being held in Auckland later this year.

Inglewood teams A and B gave it their best shot. Both teams were up against some tough competition. Inglewood trailed in the beginning but gained momentum in the later stages to rally forces. In the end, both teams surpassed expectations to be placed 3rd and 5th respectively. Congratulations to our galant lads Team A (3rd place getters) Brody Hutchings, Jordan Curd, Cameron Catlin-Maybury, Connor Catlin-Maybury. Team B (5th place getters) Nathan Battersby, Lucas Primmer-Beardsley, Max Morgan, Joshua Eberhardt. Shane Reade, Teacher

Please talk to your children about biking to and from school safely. Especially the importance of stopping at a street and looking for vehicles before riding their bikes across. We have had a few phone calls lately from members of the community very worried about our children on their bikes. Thank you

Enrolment at Inglewood School is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website or from the school office.

The board is now inviting applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Inglewood Primary School starting within Term 4 2023. All applications must be received by 3pm Monday 4 September for Term 4 2023. If a ballot for out of zone places is required, it will be held on Wednesday 6 September 2023. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

The board has determined that ten places from Year 1-2, two places year 3 - 4. are likely to be available for out-of-zone students within Term 4 2023. Be aware these numbers may change. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Parents of students who live within the home zone and intend to enroll their child at any time during the year should notify the school to assist the school to plan appropriately.

The application form for enrolment is available from the school website, or from the school office. Please note, that if the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot.

2024 School Year - The deadline for Out of Zone Enrolments for 2024 is Monday 30 October 2023 at 3pm. The board has determined that there will be up to 20 places available across all year groups.

All student accounts have been emailed out this week. Please check your inbox and spam. Thank you to the families that are continuing to pay by direct credit. Please ensure your student's accounts are brought up to date. Thank you

Welcome to Hezekiah Byles, Arlo Kendall, Alexia Benge and Oscar Owston-Doyle who have joined us over the last two weeks.

Happy Birthday to Hezekiah Byles, Alexia Benge, Arlo Kendall, Taylor Anderson, Eduart Mateas-Orban, Nautilus Williams, Zephy Williams, Dylan Langridge, Caelan Mitchell, Geo Cooper Wi-Piti, Blake Madden, Isla Jordan, Morgan Vickers, Mia Rampton, Hinemaurea Jones, Grayson Young, Levi Oliver, Liam Bannan, Daxtyn Ferguson, Freya Baeyertz, Hunter Tilby, Charlotte Curtain, Jude Beretta and Chile Ritchie who have celebrated their birthdays over the last two weeks.

Headlice are presently a problem in the school and it is possible that your child has caught them. Working together helps us protect all our children.

We ask you to check your child’s head and those of all members of your family today and once a week after that. The best way to do this is by combing each person’s wet hair with a fine toothed comb.

Headlice also live on adults’ heads, and because they don’t always cause itching, it is important to check everyone at home.

It is important to look for the EGGS (nits) which will be:

· A similar colour to the hair;

· Situated mainly around the ears, nape of the neck or crown of the head;

· Close to the scalp (within the first centimetre of hair);

· Stuck on tight (anything that can be dislodged by touching is not a nit).

Tell everyone with whom your child has been in contact.

Treat with either headlice shampoo, available from your chemist or a 50”50 solution of oil and vinegar. Tea Tree Oil in shampoo also helps.

You need to remove all eggs, if you leave one, the infestation starts all over again. PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILDS HAIR ON A DAILY BASIS.

If there is anything more you would like to know, please contact the school office or the Public Health Nurse on 0274064822.

Thank you for your co-operation.

For the remainder of Term 3, we will be selling the following items at half past. There are a limited number in all sizes. Please pop in to the school office to purchase.
