The mission of the Lyford Cay International School Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) is to build a partnership between home and school that will enhance the academic, social and cultural development of our children. The specific goals of the group are:
- To provide a social and cultural network for the Lyford Cay International School community through the promotion and organisation of activities.
- To welcome all new families and support them in the settling in process.
- To work in co-operation with the teachers and staff using the resources available within the Lyford Cay International School community to enrich the education of the students.
- To organize the volunteer efforts at Lyford Cay International School.
- To work as a “think tank” for the school’s continuous improvement and to communicate parents’ ideas and suggestions to the school principal and the School Board.
- To raise funds for the school.
The PTA activities are driven and managed by a core group of parent and teacher volunteers (Executive Committee) who are elected at the start of each school year. However, every parent at the school is automatically a member of the PTA and is welcome to get involved in any of the activities and events. In fact we actively welcome new parent ideas and involvement – many have come from other schools from which we can secure ideas and insight to further improve our own program.
The PTA has a full calendar of events - the majority of which are designed to generate community and fun! The events attract a high level of participation and support, which generates enough funds to support specific projects across the school. This past year the PTA raised in excess of $85k.
