Goal 3 Strengthen School, Family and Community Engagement While our schools have the responsibility for student achievement, there can be no doubt that meaningful School-Family and Community Partnerships are very important in providing the support necessary and preparing all students for higher education as well as for their future careers. At AUHG, families are a frequent contributor to social events. AUH-G endeavors to maintain close relations with the community by encouraging student participation in nationwide competitions, and celebrations. Faza’a, a voluntary community service program which mandates a 100 hour community service on each student, is another illustration of the school core belief in the importance of active student involvement in social life. Main Objectives: • Support proactive and transparent communication with all stakeholders to foster trust and collaboration • Build partnerships among students, families, staff, partners and the community to support academic success • Promote and maintain close collaboration with the local industries.
