Parent –Teacher Association ( PTA )
At HCIS this year, we will be developing our Parent –Teacher Association. (PTA) We aim to work closely with our parents to help them become ‘knowledgeable partners with the school’. A large body of research over recent years shows that students who have parents that are involved in their education achieve higher academic success.
We aim to focus on 6 key areas of involvement with our parents:
- Parenting – To help families understand child development and to create a supportive home environment.
- Communication – To effectively share academic information and school programmes.
- Volunteering – To organize parent volunteers to support the school and students.
- Learning at home - We aim to inform and help families so they are able to become more involved in their children’s learning.
- Decision making – We aim to include our parents roles in decision making and develop parents leaders.
- Collaborating with the Community – We aim to coordinate and develop our parental, community and charitable links
Our aim is to bring our school community closer and foster a positive, profitable working relationship with parents which will help us to reach our ultimate goal, which is the academic, social and behavioural progress of our students.
