The MIS Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a team of parents and staff who support our school community. All parents are automatically members of the PTA and are invited to join us by being enthusiastic about MIS and volunteering some time to make each year a success. We have regular Parent Coffee Mornings with the Principal to help keep parents informed and to get feedback about our programs from families. We have an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to inform parents about the finances of the school, development plans, and student achievements.
Parent/staff involvement in the PTA includes volunteering during events such as the Athletics Carnival, International Day, Indofest, and Awards Night.
If you are interested and would like to get involved in organizing events, coordinating volunteers, hosting and planning fundraisers and are an enthusiastic and a positive team player, or you would simply like some more information, please contact principal@mismedan.org.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (CCA)
The day does not end when the final bell sounds. Instead we have developed a dynamic after school program for students to explore other talents. Our offerings rotate depending on what teachers, parents, and outside community members would like to offer.
Some examples of courses that have been offered are: Swimming, Futsal, Basketball, Badminton, Volleyball, Modern Dance, Ballet, Gymnastics, Arts and Crafts, Painting, Electronics, Digital Movie Making, Computer Applications, Building a Computer, Chess Club, Public Speaking and Debate, Board Games, Student Government, Choir, Band, Gardening, University Guidance, Drama, and Cooking.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT (STUGO)
MIS gives students the chance to share their voice in what is happening at the school. The student government meets each week to help plan student activities and to develop student leadership. Students are encouraged to develop their own ideas and are supported to help organize student events. Students have organized a Halloween Party, movie nights, lock-ins, and dances.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Our calendar includes several different special events throughout the year. Each year we alternate between Indofest and the International Fair. Indofest is a large celebration of units of inquiry centered around Indonesia, our host country. It involves student performances, dances, arts and crafts and music throughout the week.
Our International Fair involves consulates and other international groups in Medan as well as student presentations. We also alternate between Science and Design Week and Arts and Literacy Week. Arts and Literacy Week is a special celebration centered around student learning. It culminates with an evening of performances. Science and Design week has different activities throughout the week and ends with a school wide Science and Design Fair.
We also like to have fun together. We begin each year with a celebration of Indonesia’s National Day with a Family Fun Night involving different games for parents and students to play together. We begin the second semester with a Family Dance Night where students teach a dance and then invite their parents to participate. We also have an annual Athletic Competition involving local schools and an annual Swimming Carnival where students display their skills in the pool.
