Association of Parents and Friends
Apart from the on-going support and cooperation the school traditionally receives from the parent body, the Association of Parents and Friends (the APF) works ceaselessly for the good of the school. A voluntary and autonomous group, the APF committee comprises school mothers and others. Additionally, the APF organises major annual social functions to raise funds for the benefits of our students. The school also receives strong support from the facility’s owners, and from several key organisations in the Al Khobar business community-not the least of which is the annual sponsorship of the school’s yearbook.
A letter to new parents from the Association of Parents and Friends:
Dear New ParentWelcome to the British International School of Al Khobar. We hope you and your child/ren will be as happy here as we have been, and look forward to meeting you.
We, (Association of Parents and Friends) meet informally during the year to organize activities both in and outside the school.
Being active throughout the school with visits from Santa and the Easter Bunny for the Lower School; Disco’s for the Middle and Upper School and an annual Ramadan & Fun Day which involves organizing games and a picnic atmosphere for all the family to enjoy, giving you and other parents a chance to get together.During these activities we often look for volunteers, it would be nice to join for some of our events and give suggestions for others, we’re always looking for ways of re-inventing ourselves and the committee.
It was also an ambition of the committee to have a Class Mother System throughout the school; they would coordinate between parents and children of their responsible class. Who knows perhaps you’d be interested in becoming a class mother yourself.
Yours sincerely
