Parents' associations, present and active in some of our host schools, represent the parent body within the school. They work directly with teachers and the school heads to benefit the moral and material welfare of the pupils. They also take part in different school councils, to which parents elect representatives, and organise school-wide social and extra-curricular activities such as Open Days and careers fairs. See the websites of our host schools for more information on their activities.
