THE PTA VISION
To create a better everyday School
experience for the students at ISH
• The PTA is elected from those who volunteer to help every year and operates for a calendar year.
• Class Parents are selected at the beginning of each school year, normally at Academic Evenings.
• The PTA board meets approximately every 4 weeks and a full meeting with all class representatives is held 1 or 2 times a year.
• A voluntary donation of 300 / 500 SEK per family is requested at the beginning of each school year to help subsidise activities within the school; provide funding towards class trips; organise social events for parents, students and teachers; support special needs within the school.
