New Family Welcome Committee

We know that moving to a new place can be overwhelming at times, and we want to help new families make a smooth transition to Phuket. Our New Families WhatsApp group allows new parents to ask questions and get to know Phuket and each other, before and after they arrive. We connect new families with Parent Buddies, organize social events to help everyone make new connections, and provide various resources to help families settle into life in Phuket. 

We welcome anyone interested in supporting new families to join us! Please send us an email if you’d like to get involved or if you have any ideas on how we can better support new families.

Ways to get involved:
  • Become a Parent Buddy! We will connect you with a new family. Help them settle in, share your local knowledge of Phuket and our school. Time commitment: 15-30 min per week or a bit more, depends on how your relationship with the new family develops! 
  • Support our New Families WhatsApp group. Answer questions and share your local knowledge and experience with new families to help them get settled. Time commitment: 15 min per week.
  • Join our Committee! Help plan events, connect Parent Buddies, keep resources up-to-date, share new ideas. Time commitment: 15-30 min per week.
