Parent Team

Welcome to the RIS Parent Team 2010-2011!

 

What is the Parent Team?

The RISPT is a group of parents which works hard to enhance the school environment for all the students at Raha International School.  We do this by running "fun"  events such as the end of year celebrations for all the students, by supporting sports events with refreshments and by providing additional resources such as picnic benches and umbrellas for extra shade.  To generate funds we hold other events such as the Global Village at International day and we have typically run a "Welcome" social event, to greet our new parents and welcome back our existing ones.


How do we do this?

The RISPT meets once a month at the school to discuss up and coming events and consider various applications for funding received from throughout the school body.  We have a lot of fun and laughs at these meetings, and in the future, maybe tea and coffee too!
