It is hard to believe that Tuesday was officially the first day of summer. Hopefully, you weren't blown away by the incredible wind we experienced on that day.

Over the next two weeks, we have a number of special events planned and look forward to welcoming whānau as we celebrate the many successes and achievements of our wonderful students.

This Friday we look forward to the annual Year 8 Dinner Dance at the Inglewood Town Hall. This is a fabulous occasion to honour our graduating Year 8 students as they move on to secondary school.

We are excited to welcome two new teachers to our school whānau for 2021. Claire Suter and Joy Tiong are taking up permanent positions on our staff at the beginning of the school year.

Claire is an experienced teacher who will be joining Puke Haupapa. She has spent much of her career teaching at the intermediate level and is returning to teaching after taking maternity leave.

Joy is coming to us from teaching junior students at Opunake Primary School and will be a part of Panitahi. Joy spent time teaching in an international school prior to moving to Taranaki.

This year ALL Service awards and Final Assemblies are being held through the daytime. Many, many schools do this and last year we discussed changing.

As we have no hall, Inglewood high School Hall is out of actions and the Mamaku Centre is too small, this year the Service Assembly, and Final Assemblies will be held at the Inglewood Town Hall.

The times are as follows:

Tuesday 15 December

Service Award - Y3-8 / 10am to 11.30am at the Inglewood Town Hall

Tuesday 15 December

Final Assembly Year 0-4 / 1.30pm to 2.30pm at the Inglewood Town Hall

Wednesday 16 December

Final Assembly Year 5-8 / 1.00pm to 2.30pm at the Inglewood Town Hall

Thursday 17 December

School finishes at 12 noon

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.

Happy birthday toTillie O'Carroll, Alexis Robinson and Zane Hewald who are celebrating their birthday's this week.

REACH Goal: Communicate with kind words and actions

Te Reo: Korero ki te atawhai i nga kupu me nga mahi pai

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.

Please remember to notify the office if your child will be absent from school. Please state your name, child's name and reason for absence each day. The Ministry of Education treats all absences without a reason as truant. Thank you

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

We have a fabulous new IPS school shirt. These are $20 each and can be purchased from the school office or popped on your school account.

Registrations are now open for the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon. When registering online, please add registrations under the group Inglewood Primary School.
