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 and caregivers,
Areej Arif is a registered psychologist under the NZ Psychologists Board, trained through Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington. She currently runs Aleph Wellbeing and Development, a private therapy practice in Henderson.
With extensive experience working with young people in both educational and therapeutic settings, Areej brings a deep understanding of children’s emotional, social, and learning needs. Her practice is grounded in a holistic and client-centred approach.
Areej will be available on-site at Iqra on Mondays (starting Monday 08/06/2026) to meet with Year 1-8 students individually for support, guidance, and skill-building in private counselling sessions. She will also be visiting classrooms to offer talks on topics such as emotional wellbeing, friendship skills, resilience, and healthy coping strategies. Sessions are fully funded.
Areej will also be supported by Sapna, a student placement who she is supervising.
PROCESS:
Referrals to Areej can be made through parents by completing the permission form, through this link: https://forms.gle/C2vhDBfxvEaAbpdM9
Areej will assess the permission form and liaise with the parent regarding next steps, including accessing the funding for individual sessions through Gumboot Friday.
A flow chart of the process is below showing parent, student and teacher referrals going to parents for permission in all cases in the first instance.
Parents are encouraged to ask any clarifying questions to Areej via email: admin@alephwellbeing.co.nz
