Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The LIS PTA works closely with the school's administration to promote and support the school. The PTA's main roles include organizing social events that bring the school community together and fundraising activities that benefit the school. The PTA plays an important role in helping parents get to know each other and enhance a sense of community. LIS understands how valuable it is for parents to become part of school life and the PTA encourages and supports the participation of all parents to share their experiences, knowledge and talents to help enrich the school's environment for our children.

All parents who have a child enrolled at LIS and all staff working at the school are automatically members of the PTA.

 

The PTA has been responsible for hosting several annual events like:

  • Welcome Back Carnival
  • International Day
  • Spring Fling
  • Food and beverages for all school performances and sports days
  • House Shirt Sales

 

The PTA has raises about $50,000 annually to help enhance the programs at LIS.  All of the money raised each year go back into the school.  Some examples of projects supported by the PTA in the past are:

  • Sail shades in the primary quadrangle and sports field
  • Bleachers
  • Teacher Appreciation Week
  • Playground equipment
  • Storage facilities on campus
  • Covered area for pick-up and drop-off
  • MUN
  • Graduation robes
