All HKIS parents, students, and faculty are members of the PFO. There is no need to apply.
The PFO’s main purpose is to build a positive community by involving and engaging all parents, students, and faculty. In addition, the PFO helps foster positive communication and exchange between school and home. All proceeds raised through its various activities and events go entirely back to the school, as the PFO is a 100% volunteer-run organization.
The PFO organizes many events throughout the school year. New families joining HKIS are integrated into the community with a New Parent Breakfast event in August and a New Parent Welcome Reception in January. New parents are invited to join the New Families FaceBook group where they can interact and connect. Twice a year, the PFO brings the entire school community across all four divisions together: during Pumpkin Festival in Fall and World’s Fair in Spring.
The PFO also sponsors and organizes the LP/UP Book Fair, Teacher Appreciation and Lunar New Year celebrations. Furthermore, the PFO supports various division-specific activities through the allocation of funds to projects proposed by each division, working collaboratively with our four divisional representatives.
Parents are invited to volunteer for PFO activities and are welcome to do so by emailing the PFO at pfo@hkis.edu.hk or pfo.volunteers@hkis.edu.hk. Find more details about the PFO in the “Parent Life” section of the HKIS Dragonet website.
