All parents are automatically members of the PTA and are invited to participate at the regular meetings held within the school premises.
AIS PTA Board
The AIS PTA as an organisation needs a Board to be able to channel information and make decisions.
The Board consists of members with a designated role and general members.
We have a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, also members who take a leading role in the PTA sub-groups. All are PARENT VOLUNTEERS.
The members of the Board hold regular meetings with the school to plan ahead, evaluate and discuss topics that parents are talking about. They also discuss these issues, and any outcomes or decisions, with the rest of the members in the General PTA Meetings.
In the first General PTA Meeting of the school year the Board positions are open for new members and all attending this meeting agree with the choice of the Board members.

The PTA is active in and around school in the following ways:
AIS PTA Volunteers Group
This group covers a wide range of events and parents can get involved per event depending on their preferences, time and interests.
The group prepares fun activities for children and/or families (e.g.: movie night, kids dance, family bbq). Volunteers also get involved with preparation of international events like Australia Day, Diwali, Halloween, Christmas, Chuseok, American Thanksgiving, International Day, and work closely with teachers during the school year with Sports day, library, art exhibitions etc.

School Lunch Volunteers
The school welcomes help from parent volunteers at lunch time to assist the teachers on duty to supervise and help the children in the cafeteria.
School Photos
The aim of this group is to prepare forms, collect orders, help children on the day of picture taking and distribute pictures afterwards. This is usually held in November every year.
General information
Fund Raising
Over the years, the PTA has developed its approach to fundraising. Proceeds from some events are donated to charities that the school supports. The PTA is also raising funds for special items of school equipment. We have in the past bought a sound system, different sports equipment, picnic tables, the new handrail in the school yard, microphones, Hi viz vest for children and more.
PTA General Meeting
Regular meetings are held within school premises and all parents are welcome to attend.
Dates of upcoming meetings can be found on our Facebook page, the notice board next to the school entrance and in the ISK Newsletter.
