Events

The IPS School Council works hard to build and maintain a strong sense of community. The events that School Council hosts not only serve to tighten the bonds between IPS families, but also provide an additional means of raising funds.

We are always looking for volunteers to help out at these events, to help please fill out the form on our Volunteer page by clicking here. Note that you do not need a police check in order to help at an event.
