Community
Ours is a real community where we learn, play and work together.
The International School of Western Australia offers students an invaluable opportunity to balance the value of meeting people from other cultures with the importance of being able to socialise and learn with peers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of being part of an international family. The school holds regular events throughout the school year that celebrate and encourage awareness of the range of cultures that make up the school community.
Parental Involvement
The International School of Western Australia warmly encourages parental participation in each child’s education. Together, we work to ensure every child’s potential is fulfilled.
For parents, the International School of Western Australia offers the chance to be part of an “international-village” - a supportive and collegial community of families sharing a desire for their child to receive a globally-recognised education. Many parents have reported forming their most valuable and lasting friendships as a result of the school’s vibrant community.
Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child’s academic development as well as in the life of the school. The school’s Parents Group is committed to enhancing the school community and is dedicated to supporting education, extra-curricular and sporting activities, and the welfare of all students. The Parents Group consists of a board that serves as a focal point of contact for the school community.
There are also a number of opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and become active in the school community. These include hospitality, fundraising, regular family social events, photo days, book fairs and library assistance to name a few.
I’ve been in Perth since July last year when we moved here from Houston and I’m slowly getting used to it. I love the beach and the lifestyle and the family do as well. I put my pictures and family photos up on the walls of the house the other day so it must really be home now!

The International School of Western Australia offers something really special and unique in terms of a global education that other schools couldn’t provide. For us, the curriculum was the most important aspect, as was having our children schooled with other like-minded students. The school community has also been a great support and our welcome program for families new to the school is a great addition.
