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

RE. Iqra School Request for Student Leave During Term Time
Dear Parents,
Under section 36 (2) of The Education & Training Act 2020, every school Board must take all reasonable steps to make sure students attend school when it is open. Schools (boards, principals and individual teachers), along with parents and guardians, are responsible for making sure students attend school regularly.
According to Ministry of Education guidelines, student leave/absence can be justified or unjustified.
Justified leave may be for medical reasons, national/local representation in a sporting or cultural event in New Zealand or overseas, or other reasons such as bereavement/tangi or exceptional family circumstances.
Unjustified leave includes holidays in term time not approved by the principal, or other absences that are explained but are not allowed under the Ministry of Education guidelines.
Please submit the attached form to the Principal no less than one week prior to the start date of the proposed leave, unless under urgent circumstances eg bereavement/tangi.
Applications for planned absences (leave) will be considered individually.
Please give supporting information in the space provided, or in a covering letter, in order to clarify the leave correctly according to Ministry of Education requirements eg any letters from regional or national sporting or cultural organisations or evidence of overseas travel.
