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

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
