Principal's Welcome


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

Food Stall Thursday 7 May 2026
4 May 2026

As-salamu alaykum Whānau,

We are excited to let you know that Room 8 will be running a food stall on Thursday, 7 May. This is a fundraising effort to support our students with costs towards their camp later in the year. 

Students will receive pre-order forms on Tuesday 5 May. If these are completed and returned by Wednesday 6 May, their food will be prepared and ready for collection on Thursday at their lunch time. There will also be an option to purchase food on the day by bringing cash.

Please note that food items may sell out, so it would be wise for students to still bring a packed lunch in case their preferred options are no longer available.

Jazakum Allahu khayran for your continued support.

Kind regards,
Anzar Chida
Room 8 Teacher
