ISH Community

We would like to extend a warm welcome to the ISH Community from the PTSA (Parents, Teachers & Students Association)

The PTSA mission statement:

“We connect, we communicate, we contribute.”

The PTSA is an association of all parents or caregivers, students and teachers whose mission is to create an inclusive well-informed community in which all families are welcome and encouraged to participate.

We are a group of parents, teachers and one student representative from ISH who meet on a regular basis to organise events to bring the school community together.

The PTSA is committed to key ISH community principles:

• We assume good intent and are non-judgemental.
• We focus our time on the activities that have the biggest positive impact on the community.
• We place value on building positive relationships that enable us to support the school mission.
• We welcome everyone, respect differences and are open to a wide range of viewpoints.
• We keep everyone informed.

• Bringing together the school community
• Organising events and community initiatives
• Raising funds to support ISH activities
• Coordinating Room Parents (Primary) and Parent Coordinators (Secondary)
• The PTSA chair represents the interests of the PTSA and the ISH community on the School Board of Directors as a full-voting member

The PTSA is proud to announce their new funding project “One World, Many Stories”. Over the next 5 years the PTSA will be investing, each year, $1500 in the school library. Already the PTSA is working with Ms Jasmine, the school librarian, to purchase all the most recent best sellers and a wide selection of great books that make up a school library. Over the next few months we will keep you updated with the purchasing and then the arrival of all this great reading material!

If you want to contribute to create a caring and successful community, please get involved! You can come and contribute to school life by:

• Becoming a volunteer of the PTSA
• Becoming a Room Parent or Parent coordinator for your child’s class
