School Community Organization

On November 21, 2023, we unveiled the newly established AISZ’s School Community Organization (SCO), a culmination of a year-long effort to revitalize our Parent Community post-pandemic. Through extensive research, it became evident that the conventional Parent Teacher Association (PTA) model no longer aligned with the mission, vision, and values of AISZ.

In response, our Board convened to formulate a set of By-Laws that better support our mission and vision.

The AISZ Board Policy outlines the purpose of the SCO:

• Bring the school community together in support of the School’s Mission and Vision
• Promote the values of the school
• Support parents
• Raise funds for events or resources that augment the curriculum. 

Additionally, the By-Laws, authored by the AISZ Board, articulate the following goals for the SCO:

• Develop a close-knit AISZ community
• Reinforce the AISZ mission statement
• Support all AISZ students, faculty, staff, and families
• Raise funds for the benefit of all students

WHO WE ARE?

Your School Community Organization (SCO) comprises parents and teachers of AISZ. All the parents of every student in the school is automatically a member.

WHAT WE DO?

We aim to bring the school community together, promoting the values of the school, and supporting parents. We also like to have FUN and so a big part of what we do is organizing events and activities with just that in mind. Some of the bigger ones are the welcome picnic at the start of the school year and the AISZ Gala.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The SCO has an executive committee who seek to lead the organisation but we rely on volunteers to contribute whatever they can whenever they can to make sure we get things done. With that in mind, we'd encourage you to get involved. Drop us an email or better yet, come up and talk to us whenever you see us. You'll get more out of it than you put in, we can assure you!

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

Every parent or guardian of an AISZ student is automatically a member of the SCO. There is a saying “Many hands make light work.” If you would like to get involved and be a part of SCO activities, please contact the SCO at sco@aisz.hr to complete the SCO Volunteer Form.
