KIS Parents

One of the greatest gifts that parents can give their children is education. It is their preparation for the future and the key to success. You have given your children the gift of KIS. We are a school that has much strength because we encourage and develop a sense of belonging and a sense of family. I think our students enjoy numerous advantages at KIS, but perhaps more important than any is the support they receive from staff, parents, alumni and friends of the school.

- Adrian Moody, Principal

KIS draws on the diversity and energy of parents who send their children to KIS. Parents from all over the world visit KIS during the start of semesters and at times during the school year. KIS parents are key members of the KIS family and community. Parents are keen to see and experience hands on, as to how their children are learning and growing. As a result, KIS encourages the participation of everyone belonging to this learning community. Sharing the perspectives and views of parents allows the teachers and school administration to receive consistent feedback and ideas from parents.

During 10 – 14 September 2011, KIS hosted Parent Week 2011. This presented an opportunity for parents to participate in the KIS experience along with their children. Over the week, a variety of activities was hosted in drama, music and visual arts as well as sports and hiking. During the week parents had the opportunity to meet with teachers on an individual basis.
