Parents' council - Eltern Schule Pfingstweid

We connect parents, support school projects, and organize our own events. We maintain regular contact with the school team and actively participate in school activities. We serve as a point of contact for parents, the school team, the school authorities, and the students.

The Parents’ Council is composed of parent representatives from each class, from kindergarten to 6th grade. We meet with the school administration five times a year, and in between, we engage in various working groups. There are four active working groups: Events Working Group, Intercultural/Digital Working Group, Living Environment Working Group, and Communication Working Group.

Intercultural/Digital

The Intercultural Working Group aims to promote intercultural awareness and cultural exchange among the school, students, and parents.

Through various projects, some of which we plan to implement in collaboration with the school, we aim to introduce our children to different cultures from around the world. Our goal is to develop their skills that contribute to effective and appropriate communication with people from other cultures.

Furthermore, we plan to provide resources for parents, especially those who are non-Swiss or non-German-speaking. These resources will support them in navigating the Swiss school system, facilitate exchange with other parents, and help them integrate better into the German-speaking region of Switzerland.

We are excited about engaging in fascinating projects.
