Parent Teacher Association (PTA) keeps parents connected. In many valuable ways.

Parents know their children better than anyone. They see how school life continues at home and understand what matters most to their families. That is why parents are such an important part of our community. That is why our Parent Teacher Association matters so much to our school.

The PTA strengthens the connection between families and school life. Helping parents feel involved, supported and part of something bigger.

Building one big family

The PTA helps create the sense of belonging that makes ISH feel special. Parents support events, share experiences and help create meaningful moments for students and families throughout the year.

Together, they help create the warm environment where students can learn, grow and thrive.

Parents helping parents

Moving to a new country often comes with questions, especially for international and expat families. Sometimes support starts with something small. A practical tip. A familiar face. Someone who understands exactly what settling into a new place feels like.

The PTA helps parents connect, share experiences and support one another along the way. And if parents have questions, the PTA is always happy to help.

The voice, ears and eyes of parents

The PTA acts as an important connection between parents and school life. Parents bring perspectives and experiences that help the school understand what happens beyond the classroom and around the kitchen table.

Listening to parents helps us keep improving the vibrant learning environment we create together for our students. The PTA regularly exchanges thoughts with the school leadership team and helps keep school life connected to family life.

Let’s connect

The PTA is a voluntary group and everyone is welcome. Whether helping organise activities, sharing ideas or simply meeting other families, every contribution strengthens our community.
