Assalamualaikum parents,

Our school Hungerball Day will take place on Friday, 6 November (this is separate from our Football Tournament happening on Sunday). Students will enjoy an exciting day of fun, friendly competition and physical activity. Through their participation, students will have opportunities to develop teamwork, communication, coordination, strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. The day will also encourage resilience, confidence, perseverance, leadership and good sportsmanship as students learn to celebrate success, handle challenges positively and show respect for others. Above all, Hungerball Day will promote healthy competition, strengthen friendships and foster a sense of unity and school spirit.

We hope the kids enjoy it.

Regards,
Anzar Chida

Dear Parents and Whānau,

Assalamu Alaikum,

As we begin planning for the 2027 school year, we kindly ask parents and caregivers whose children will not be continuing at Iqra School next year to inform the school office.

This information is important to help us finalise classroom arrangements, staffing, and enrolment planning, particularly as we currently have a high number of students on our waiting lists.

If your child/children will be leaving Iqra School at the end of 2026, please notify the school office by Friday, 6 November 2026, providing your child's full name and current year level.

If your child/children will be continuing at Iqra School in 2027, no action is required.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

Kind regards,
Iqra School Administration
