Parent Engagement at Sunmarke
Making parents an integral part of their child’s educational journey through meaningful involvement, community activities and collaborative experiences.
Learning Beyond Academics
Parent Involvement
in School Life
In tune with the traditions adopted by the Fortes Education Group, Sunmarke emphasises a strong Parent Engagement Programme with parents being as involved in our community and aspects of school life as their children.
Parents participate in their child’s education by attending assemblies, Parent’s Evenings, helping out with reading clubs and joining our popular monthly Wellness Wednesdays sessions for useful parenting and lifestyle advice by experts.
THE PARENTS ASSOCIATION – FOSS
Friends of Sunmarke School
The Friends of Sunmarke School (FOSS) plays a central role, organising various community events throughout the year. Some calendar favourites include the Movie Night, World Culture Day, Cup Cake Sales, Mother’s Day, and Dance-A-Thon to name just a few.
The Association also provides vital support to parents and families joining the school or those who have just moved to Dubai. The FOSS coffee mornings and the FOSS ‘Healthy Hub’ are great ways to make new friends and socialise.
If you would like to know more about the activities and events organised by FOSS or would like to join this parent body, please contact admin@forteseducation.com
