Our PTA

“The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely forced us to lock hands, step up, and embrace the challenges together as one AISG community. Even during these uncertain times, our goal remains unchanged - support the AISG community to provide a secure and stable environment for our children, AISG’s students.”
