Parent Support
200+
members in the Book
and Culture Club
We continued to offer support to parents through moderated class- and
grade-level WhatsApp groups, facilitating communication between families and helping to amplify school information and updates. Our Book
and Culture Clubs also stayed active over the past year, involving more
than 200 parents.
Additional support was offered to families through our Parent Association
of Learning Support Students (PALSS) group, which included more than
70 members. Our New Family Welcome Programme also matched more
than 30 new families with existing ones to help with the transition to VIS
and Vienna.
Thank you to all of the parent and staff volunteers who contributed their
time, energy and enthusiasm to supporting PTA events over the past year.
