Primary Parent Teacher Association, PTA

About the PTA:

Some of you may be unfamiliar with what the Parent Teacher Association — generally referred to as the PTA — is or does. Let’s start with the fact that every parent or guardian of a primary student attending the ISH is automatically a member. As are all the primary teachers. Parents and teachers: we all make up the PTA.

And what does the PTA do? First, and foremost, the PTA is there to benefit the school community. Through the PTA, we can have our voices heard, make contributions to the school and organize various activities for the children and families to build our community or just to have fun. 

The PTA holds open meetings throughout the year that every parent is invited to attend to discuss school related issues and plan the different events we organize. These meetings are also attended by school representatives, giving us the opportunity to work together and have clear communication.

If you wish to sell personal belongings before packing, moving or after you finished the Spring Cleaning; you can do so via the new f-ISH Market, ISH’s own buy and sell marketplace. Surf to

and read how you can post your items.

And of course if you are looking for a second hand car, bike, furniture or other items, the f-ISH market is the place for you!

Get Involved

One of the greatest things about the ISH is our diversity - and that is reflected in our PTA. Maybe this is the first time you have had a PTA in your school, or you’ve never been involved before. Perhaps you have lots of previous experience. Whatever your position, your participation is valued.

Activities

Throughout the year the PTA organises activities for our children and the school community.  We need your help to make these events happen.  While some activities don’t take much organization, some, like the Spring Fair, need the support of many. If you can contribute your time, talent or ideas to help make these events a success, we would greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to contact any of the PTA board members listed below for more information.
