5. PARENT-TEACHER COUNCIL
Al-Hamra Parent Teacher Council (PTC) is a parent-teacher organisation whose members
include all parents, legal guardians and teachers. Generally, the purpose of PTC is to
promote a healthy working relationship and an open line of communication between home
and school.
PTC aims to promote open communication between the parents, school and the relevant
authorities. It provides a platform for sharing information on issues that impact the
children; is a resource for families and teachers; creates innovative programs to improve
the school environment; and raises funds to support supplemental educational materials,
family social events and additional school needs.
PTC is dedicated to assist Al-Hamra Integrated School to reach their highest potential.
Therefore, members of PTC will meet four times a year (as per scheduled). Throughout
the year, guest speakers and special topics of interest to parents are scheduled during the
meetings. Parents are encouraged to drop in at meetings and get involved, whether it’s
attending a meeting or volunteering to serve on a committee or as a chaperone for a
school event.
