Parents at ISWA

 

Ours is a real community where we learn, play and work together.

The International School of Western Australia offers students an invaluable opportunity to balance the value of meeting people from other cultures with the importance of being able to socialise and learn with peers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of being part of an international family.

The School holds regular events throughout the school year that celebrate and encourage awareness of the range of cultures that make up the school community.

ISWA warmly encourages parental participation in each child’s education. Together, we work to ensure every child’s potential is fulfilled.

For parents, ISWA offers the chance to be part of an “international-village” - a supportive and collegial community of families sharing a desire for their children to receive a globally-recognised education. Many parents have reported forming their most valuable and lasting friendships as a result of the School’s vibrant community.

Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child’s academic development as well as in the life of the school. ISWA's Parent Group is committed to enhancing the school community and is dedicated to supporting the educational program, co-curricular and sporting activities, and the welfare of all students. The Parent Group is represented by a committee that serves as a focal point of contact for the school community. All parents are welcome at meetings, held on the first Thursday of each month in the Drama Studio.

There are also a number of opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and become active in the school community. These include hospitality, fundraising, regular family social events, photo days, bookfairs and library assistance. 

Our Parents Say...

I’ve been in Perth since July last year when we moved here from Houston and I’m slowly getting used to it. I love the beach and the lifestyle and the family do as well. I put my pictures and family photos up on the walls of the house the other day so it must really be home now!

The International School of Western Australia offers something really special and unique in terms of a global education that other schools couldn’t provide. For us, the curriculum was the most important aspect, as was having our children schooled with other like-minded students. The school community has also been a great support and our welcome program for families new to the school is a great addition.
