Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The PTFA is the Association of Parents, Teachers and Friends of Dyatmika whose objective is to facilitate the development and improvement of the school through the resources of parents, teachers, friends and the community, in keeping with Dyatmika's vision and mission. All parents are automatically members of this association. The PTFA is led by an Executive Committee with a Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and two Secretaries (one Indonesian and one English), and meetings and events are organized with the help of PTFA members. Elections are held early in Term 1, and each Class is represented by a PTFA Class Representative to facilitate communication between parents and school leadership.
