home_school_co_operation_urlhttp://www.ilc.edu.hk/PTAweb/index.html
home_school_co_operationOur Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has been established for 28 years since 1997. The Annual General Meeting and Parent Night serve as a communication channel between the school and parents. The PTA regularly organises educational programmes on different topics for parents. The PTA seminars, workshops and visits help to broaden parents’ perspectives and set a good example of life-long learning for their children. Parents actively participate in the parent volunteer team. Such participation not only allows them to utilise their skills but also supports school development and facilitates parents’ mutual support. Interest classes, picnics with their children, fellowship, sales of used school uniforms and community visits have all proven popular with parents. The PTA has also set up a Scholarship, Student Development Fund and Emergency Relief Subsidy to encourage and facilitate students' all-round development through financial support.

- Student Improvement Plan
These programmes equip students with capabilities to be future leaders. To address the developmental needs of junior form students and to help them discern the right from wrong and to change for betterment, a system of dual class teachers is in place. Moreover, we invite prefects to be the group leaders of orientations and Guidance Angels to foster care, support, and harmony among students of different forms. We also bring in different resources such as:
- Hong Kong Young Women's Christian Association for social services

- SALEM-Tai Po Lutheran Church to organize activities to support students in their development
