The Island School Parent Teacher Association (ISPTA) rescheduled its Annual General Meeting (AGM) due to Typhoon Ragasa. To accommodate the date change and ensure flexibility, the AGM was held online, in accordance with ISPTA’s constitution. The meeting provided an opportunity for ISPTA to share and celebrate the events and initiatives from the past year that brought the Island School community together.
Ms. Fatema Jangbarwala, Chair of the Island School PTA, highlighted the vital role ISPTA plays in collaborating with school leaders to foster a strong community through cultural, social, and educational events. ISPTA also contributed significantly to strengthening communication between the school and parents by gathering feedback and facilitating Q&A sessions during Coffee ZOOM meetings. Ms. Jangbarwala expressed her gratitude to the ISPTA committee members, senior leaders, teachers, and parents for their continued support.
Mr. Eric Chen presented the Treasurer’s Report, outlining how PTA membership fees and fundraising were allocated to support community events and initiatives. Vice Principal, Ms. Keily Murphy, presented the Principal’s Report on behalf of Ms Nina Gunson and also thanked PTA members and parents for their support in building strong partnerships and a vibrant school community—something Island School takes great pride in.
During the AGM, members of the association elected the ISPTA Committee for 2025–2026. Committee members work diligently and tirelessly to ensure the success of ISPTA’s events and initiatives. Their dedication and countless hours of hard work are deeply appreciated. We are pleased to announce the newly elected committee for 2025–2026.
