We believe that parental engagement leads to student success. Find out how you can get involved in your child’s education.
PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)
PTA is primarily a social organisation. The main goal of the PTA is to promote fun and social events. The secondary goal is fundraising. Members organise a number of key events throughout the year, including coffee mornings, parent dinners and the annual ISCT Founders’ Day fair.
Every parent and teacher at ISCT is a member of the PTA. The PTA suggests and delivers projects that benefit ISCT and its wider community. We ask every parent to help with at least one project a year to ensure it’s success.
The PTA has portfolios for sport, gardening, social outreach, and more.
BURSARY TRUST FUND
The purpose of the trust is to provide financial support to underprivileged students to study at ISCT. The trust will give preference to potential students who were previously disadvantaged in South African society.

LIBRARY
The library is a vibrant and central part of our school. Daphne Gengayan, our librarian, is always happy to have parents help with covering books, shelving, labeling or issuing.
READING
Struben House parents have the opportunity to read to their children’s class at story time. There is a sign-up roster outside the classroom.
UNIFORM SHOP
The Nearly New uniform shop is run by the PTA who are always looking for volunteers to assist them. Please email pta@isct.co.za if you’d like to help—this is a great way of getting to know the other parents at ISCT!
CLASS REPS (PARENTS)
Every class in the Primary School has a parent class representative. Their role ranges from welcoming new parents and classmates to coordinating birthday cards for teachers and end-of-year parties.
