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

Urgent: Device & Internet Survey for Possible Online Learning Inbox
6 May 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Due to the current fuel shortage situation and the possibility of moving to Phase 2 or Phase 3, the school is working through a fuel shortage planning situation by preparing for a potential transition to online learning.

To help us plan and ensure all students can access learning from home if required, we ask that you please complete a short Device & Connectivity Survey as soon as possible.

The survey includes:

  • Availability of a suitable device at home
  • Access to reliable internet
  • Number of devices compared to the number of school-aged children in your household

Your prompt response is very important and will allow us to identify and support families who may need assistance.

Please complete the form via Skool Loop at your earliest convenience and before May 15, 2026.  The New Zealand government has clearly stated we are still in Phase 1 of the Fuel Shortage Phases and have not said there is a move to another phase.  This school survey is simply for planning purposes only. 

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Regards, 

Leanne Chartrand
