Dear Parents and Guardians,
Assalamu Alaikum Everyone.
I hope this message finds you well today. I am delighted to be appointed the new Principal of Iqra School starting Term Three. I have already been so welcomed to the school by wonderful staff and students who have gone out of their way to make sure I am well supported here at Iqra School. I have taught over two decades in a number of roles in educational leadership, including ACG Sunderland School and St. Cuthbert’s College. I have a passion for primary education, a commitment to inclusivity and a dedication to fostering a collaborative learning environment. I have gained invaluable experience raising students’ progress and improving outcomes for students. My values align seamlessly with the mission of Iqra School and I am eager to begin work alongside specialised staff, hard working teachers and wonderful students. The Board of Trustees have enabled me to have a wonderful transition with Dr. Stephen Kendall-Jones, and I am grateful for the smooth handover that has transpired.
It is a privilege and humbling to become part of the Iqra School community amongst the special character that only Iqra School can bring. Thank you so much for all the support already shown me. I am excited to start a new chapter here at Iqra School. Your engagement and cooperation are invaluable to me as we continue to cultivate a nurturing, respectful and enriching environment for all our students. Please pop in and say hello when you are next at Iqra School!
Kind regards,
Leanne Chartrand
Principal

Dear Parents,
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who encouraged their children to participate in the Hadith Competition that held two weeks ago. Your support, effort, and commitment are deeply appreciated.
It is important to note that every participant is regarded as a winner. We encourage you to commend your child and acknowledge their efforts, regardless of their final score.
Parents of the winners have been notified by email yesterday. We look forward to celebrating their success on Monday, the 3rd of November.
All participants will also receive a certificate of participation, which will be handed out in their classes.
Jazakum Allahu khayran for your continued support.
The Special Character Team
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Re. Preparing for strike action Oct 29, 2025 and Nov 5, 2025- Normal programme of instruction
Wednesday 29 October -Normal instruction. The PPTA has let the school know that its members will strike Wednesday 29 October. This will not impact our programmes for the day.
Wednesday November 5- Normal instruction. The PPTA has let the school know on Wednesday 5 November its members will not teach past 1:30pm. The board has considered the availability of non-union teaching staff and fortunately has decided the school can provide normal instruction on this day.
We know that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike. Please be assured that student safety is our main concern. Thank you for your understanding.
Please contact the Principal, Leanne Chartrand (leanne.chartrand@iqra.school.nz) if you have any queries relating to the impact the industrial actions noted above.
Yours sincerely
Dr Bilel Ragued
Presiding Member,
Iqra School board
