Assalamu Alaikum Everyone,
I hope this message finds you well today.
Reflecting on the past two years as Principal of Iqra School, I am filled with immense gratitude for how warm, welcoming, and dedicated this community continues to be. Since joining in Term Three two years ago, following a wonderful transition alongside Dr. Stephen Kendall-Jones, it has been an absolute privilege to lead and grow alongside our incredible students, hard-working teachers, specialized staff, and supportive Board of Trustees.
Drawing on my two decades of experience in educational leadership—including my time at ACG Sunderland School and St. Cuthbert’s College—my passion for primary education, commitment to inclusivity, and dedication to raising student progress remain at the heart of everything I do. Over these past two years, it has been immensely rewarding to see our shared values in action and to watch our students thrive within the unique special character that makes Iqra School so extraordinary.
Thank you to all our parents, caregivers, and community members for your ongoing support, engagement, and collaboration. Together, we continue to cultivate a nurturing, respectful, and enriching environment where every student can succeed.
As always, my door is open—please feel free to pop in and say hello when you are next at the school!
Kind regards,
Leanne Chartrand
Principal, Iqra School

On Monday 31st August, the Year 4 class will visit Rewarewa Esplanade Reserve for a guided walk focusing on the water cycle.
The guided walk will help ākonga understand how water moves through the environment through evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. It will also provide a wonderful opportunity for students to explore freshwater as a blessing from Allah (SWT), reflect on their responsibility as khalifah—caretakers of the Earth—and learn the importance of protecting water sources, avoiding waste and showing gratitude for Allah’s creation.
Time: 11:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m.
Location: Rewarewa Esplanade Reserve, New Lynn, Auckland 0600
About the walk
The class will follow a 600-metre route from the corner of Hugh Brown Drive to Rata Street and return. Students will remain on the designated path at all times and will not go near the stream.
What does my child need to bring?
A raincoat
Comfortable walking shoes
A sunhat, depending on the weather
How much does the trip cost?
There is no cost for students.
Please complete the form given.
