Fundamental to the ongoing success and happiness of our school community are the positive partnerships that exists between all of our stakeholder groups.
ISZL actively encourages parental involvement and participation in all areas of school life. To support this, we host a number of community events, from small to large, that bring parents together to celebrate the community and highlight the successes of our individual and collective efforts.Our Parents' Association (PA) dedicates itself to ensuring that every member of our community feels welcomed and has the opportunity to get involved and join the fun! Their wide range of social activities include Hiking, Skiing, Running, Tennis, Choir, Pudding Club and Coffee Corner. Additionally, the Sports Booster Club, Parents Advisory Committee (PAC) and the ISZL Cultural Committees, all offer meaningful ways in which you can make a positive difference to your child's school education.
We also provide parents with learning opportunities to help them understand and participate in their child’s education in a meaningful and informed way.
Volunteers are the secret ingredient to making any community-based programme an outstanding success. Please visit our Volunteering at School page to see our current opportunities.
The primary goal of the Parents' Association (PA) is to support school spirit and enhance our families’ overall experience at ISZL. The PA organises numerous events for children and adults – allowing everyone to make new friends and enjoy a great social life.
All parents at ISZL are automatically part of the PA. There are many ways to shape and be involved in the association:
Please join the PA meetings and events and become a part of the action!
The ISZL Sports Booster Club is a non-profit, parent volunteer organisation that supports our Middle School and High School competitive sports teams by promoting sporting events, running concession stands and funding special supplies for our student athletes and teams as needed.
The Booster Club is committed to heightening school spirit, establishing sports traditions and increasing involvement of both students and parents at sporting events. Through the efforts of the Booster Club, we hope to allow all our athletes to excel and enjoy being part of the ISZL athletics programme.
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) for the Primary School, Middle School and High School respectively meet once per month. The PAC acts as a sounding board for the administration of each school division and its campus. Proposals presented by the school will be discussed and likely parental and student reaction considered. The group advises ISZL’s administration on matters of general interest to the parents. While the council does not have executive powers, its advice is sought and considered in decision-making.
The council acts as a channel of communication between the school and parents. It is not a forum for considering individual concerns. The PAC is not part or extension of the Parents’ Association - it is a separate entity. PAC Membership is by invitation of the Division Principal.
As a culturally aware and culturally diverse community, we are always looking for ways to recognise, understand and celebrate our cultural diversity. The role of the Cultural Committee is to raise awareness of the diversity of cultures within our community and to broaden the knowledge of our children regarding these cultures. The committee also offers advice regarding cultural aspects of life in our ISZL community. Membership of the committee is open to all community members – get involved!
