Welcome To IQRA School

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

 

Today on 20.8.26  we practised our emergency procedures under the guidance of Harrison Tew®, who specialise in emergency management planning for schools and educational facilities. The procedures we follow allow us to respond safely and quickly to a range of situations. 

We are pleased to inform you that our practise today went very well with our students responding safely and calmly. During the year we will continue to practise our emergency procedure exercises to ensure all staff and students remain familiar with them.

Should you become aware of a lockdown or an evacuation at the school, can I please ask that you do not attend the school or phone, as we will not be able to respond.  Your presence or contact may make it more difficult for us or the emergency services to manage a situation. Any information pertaining to an emergency occurring at the school will be updated on our website as regularly as possible.

We believe that it is important that we conduct regular practices for lockdowns and evacuations so that we can all be well prepared and familiar with our procedures should an emergency occur. 

We thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Leanne Chartrand

Principal, Iqra School

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We are reaching out to our wonderful school community to see if anyone might be in a position to lend a helping hand to a local family in need of temporary support.

One of our school families, who lives in the Glen Eden area, is currently navigating a challenging short-term situation and is finding it difficult to manage school drop-offs and pick-ups on certain days of the week. They have two children attending Iqra School.

If you live in or near Glen Eden and have space in your car—even if it is just for an occasional morning drop-off or afternoon pick-up—your support would make a world of difference to this family over the next few weeks. Carpooling even one or two days a week, or on an ad-hoc basis, would be immensely appreciated.

How you can help:

Location: Glen Eden area (to/from Iqra School)
Children: 2 students
Frequency: Flexible / short-term (off and on during the week)
If you are open to helping out or would like more details, please reach out directly to the Principal. We will then connect you with the family to see if your schedules align.

Thank you so much for your generosity, kindness, and for always looking out for one another in our school community.

Warm regards,

Leanne Chartrand

Dear Year 1, Room 10 Parents and Caregivers,

We are excited to share that on Wednesday, 9 September, from 9:00 am to 10:20 am, Room 10 will be hosting a special visit from our local community!

Eight 4-year-old children and two staff members from Best Start Early Childhood Centre will be spending the morning with us.

Purpose of the Visit
This visit is a wonderful opportunity for our school to build stronger connections with our local community. It also gives the visiting children, who are preparing for their own upcoming transition to primary school, a chance to experience a Year 1 classroom environment and see what school life is like.

What to Expect
During their time with us, the children will:

Join in on our morning classroom routines.
Interact and engage in fun learning activities alongside our Year 1 students.
Get a friendly introduction to school expectations and classroom spaces.
Our students are looking forward to being welcoming hosts, sharing their classroom, and showing our visitors what makes Room 10 such a great place to learn!

If you have any questions about the morning, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your continued support in making our classroom a warm and connected community.

Warm regards,

Leanne Chartrand

Principal
