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

Survey to the Community/ Whanau about Te ao Māori
To the Parents of Iqra School students,
A Te Ao Maori survey has been created to consult the community on All things Māori and Tikanga Māori( protocol of Māori culture). This will better inform the teaching and learning of our students while we pay tribute to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Aspects of Te Ao Māori that are taught at Iqra School will always align with our Islamic special character. Please can you take a minute to complete the survey below. Your response is highly valued.

Dear Parents and Whānau,
Please be advised that our school is currently experiencing an outage with our main phone lines.
This issue is due to a nationwide network disturbance with Network for Learning (N4L), which is affecting telephone services for schools across New Zealand today. N4L's technical teams are actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
We anticipate our phone lines will be restored as soon as N4L resolves the network problem.
Alternative Contact: If you need to reach the school urgently or report a student absence, please contact us via email at info@iqra.school.nz or admin@iqra.school.nz or through SKOOL LOOP.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Kind regards
Iqra School
