Matt Sigurdsson
Matt has been an active member of the Inglewood Primary School team during the 18 months he has been with us.
Matt has initiated many things in his short time here including; the development of the advanced mountain bike track with a group of keen students, termly trips to the Mangamahoe Mountain Bike track where both young and not so young have enjoyed various challenges, various sports and games including bringing back the game of Ki o rahi, ICT equipment and use within learning opportunities, class dojo, chrome casting etc, streamlining our behaviour tracking with google forms which has saved a few trees, and of course everyone will agree his musical talent was very much a highlight of our 2018 School Production, to mention a few. We will all miss you Matt.
Matt and his family are moving out of Taranaki, we extend a huge thank you to Matt for all he has done in is short time here and wish he and his beautiful family all the very best,
Welcome

2019 Term dates
We are starting Friday 1 February with our Learning Partnership Day. We held this earlier this year and it was a huge success with positive feedback from families.
We ask that you go on to a link we will share with you Tuesday 18 December, once the 2019 classes are announced on Monday 17.
From the link you will be able to book a time to meet with your child's teacher on the Fri.
We are very thankful to the parents and families who can accommodate coming to an interview and then taking their child home to allow all teachers the day to meet with their student, families separately. If you do require your child to be at school for the day, please let us know.
Week 2 starts Monday 4 February where all students will be together with their respective teachers. Don;t forget that Waitangi Day is Wednesday of that week, and that is a Public Holiday.
Please see below for the term dates - all families will each receive a magnet for their fridge, courtesy of our wonderful Parent Link Team -.
