Tena koutou Whānau,

Today marks the last official day of our IPS #WeekofAwhi in support of those struggling communities that have been devastated by the recent Cyclone Gabrielle. Our mission this past week has been to show that, although we have not experienced the same level of devastation as these communities, we still care greatly. I would like to thank all of those that have contributed in some way to the relief effort, it's not always just about physical support, it's the messages, cards, and drawings that express our thoughts and aroha. I am humbled by the sheer outpouring of this beautiful Inglewood whānau community towards our friends in affected areas. Along with the amazing donations of essential items we have raised $846.50!

With so much happening around our driveway and other property works in place at school, I am thankful to everyone that is using the footpath rather than the driveway as a walking path. I would remind our parent community that the speed limit for our school driveway is 5km.

At IPS we use the App EDGE which is available on the AppStore and Google Store. We encourage you to download and install this app so that you can receive information and communication from the school as well as the class teacher. It is also a place where you can record absences. If you have any questions or difficulties with this, please do not hesitate to come to school and we can support you with this process.

I wish you all a wonderful and safe weekend

Phillip Reade

Acting Principal

E-Safety

It's been great to have had conversations recently around e-safety and helping our children understand and navigate the risks and opportunities using digital tools present. It can be tricky, to say the least.

Here are 4 excellent places to start. The Google resources as well as the net safe and "be internet awesome" ones are child friendly, interactive, and very supportive of teachers who may be thinking about what is appropriate and how to get started. There's sample class treaties in there too. Have a crack!
