We are excited to welcome Koron Oliver to our Inglewood whānau. Koron has been appointed to the position of team leader in Waiongana Iti. She is currently acting principal of Pembroke School and comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in collaborative teaching practice.

What a week! I hope that you have not been washed away with all of the rain we have experienced over the past few days.

It has been another action-packed week at IPS. In addition to usual classroom programmes, Year 8 students, parents and teachers enjoyed a successful dinner dance last Friday, Pukehaupapa held their 'Big Day Out' in New Plymouth, Super Skills Cricket for Years 5-8, Play ball for Pouakai and He Awhi Tanga had fun at the Brooklands Zoo.

Recently, IPS students participated in the Fresh Air Challenge organized by NPDC. The Challenge focuses on encouraging active and sustainable travel, such as walking, biking, riding a scooter, taking the bus and ride-sharing. From 19th-30th October, students logged their trips to and from school. These were collatred and the classes with the most days of 'active' travel were the winners.

Congratulations to:

Panitahi O'Connor

Pouakai Turner

Waiongana Iti Boyd

Puke Haupapa White

These classes will receive pizza and fruit one day next week.

We are all looking forward to joining with whānau to celebrate the achievements of our students at next week's service and award assemblies.

We are excited to be invited into the Healthy Lunches Programme provided by Budget 2020 for the 2021 year ahead. This programme provides funding until December 2021 to expand the provision of daily school lunches to approximately 850 schools across New Zealand, reaching around 200,000 students from the 25 percent of schools and kura in communities facing the greatest socio-economic disadvantage.

Our school will be provided with the lunches each day for ALL children attending Inglewood Primary School, which is fantastic.

All teachers have sent a message on see-saw to all families regarding any dietary requirements. Please respond to this message as soon as possible for our records and planning purposes. Thank you

Our first day back for Learning Partnership meetings with families and staff is Monday 1 Feb and our normal classes resume for the year Tuesday 2 Feb.

Our lovely Librarian Wendy Nash is missing a lot of books from the school library. IPS library books all have a bar code, three letters down the spine and a letter on the front cover. Please have a really thorough look around your homes and return any to the school office urgently ready for our annual stocktake. Thank you :)

Our fabulous caretaker John Harland is looking for a second hand clothes dryer for our school. We use this to dry sports gear, towels and clothes at school when needed. If you can help please phone the school office. Thank you

Annual Christmas Raffle

ParentLink are happy to be able to do our Annual Christmas Raffle once again this year. We are however doing this a bit differently. Each school family will receive a sheet with 15 raffles to sell. Raffles are $2 each. Money and sheets are due back to the school office by Friday 11 December. We have two raffles each consisting of grocery items and an air fryer. These will be drawn on the 14th of December.

School Gala

ParentLink are pleased to announce that on Saturday 13 March 2021 we will be holding a School Gala and Market Day. We are needing some of our amazing parents to help us with organising ideas, marketing and general help. If you are interested or have an idea for our Gala, please contact us by email at parentlink@inglewood.school.nz. We require expressions of interest by Friday 11 December so that we are able to go full steam ahead with organising mid to late January.

We look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your support of our school. If you would like further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.

We are missing a lot of sports uniforms. Please check in drawers, under beds and in wardrobes. Please return to the office urgently.
