Preparations for sports day, dancing, eating everything happening at school environment is education. As long as educators are concerned about wellbeing of our children and committed to educating them, every second spent at school even with misbehaved classmate, decease spread at school is learning for our kids. Times when Lunch break moved to another time slot, a bit hungrier or thirstier than usually, every change builds resilience in our kids. Let’s let them have that opportunity, overcome challenges and become stronger.

Prep school is a place where students focus more on learning English, and we pay more tuition compared to the main program. I understand that we focus more on English lessons instead of subjects like music or computer. However, I don’t understand why we should feel discriminated against during various events held by the school.

For example, during Book Day, I heard that the main school had a variety of fun activities. Teachers dressed up in different costumes and organized games, while the prep students were asked to do a simple finger dance with socks on their hands — without any proper practice. I also heard that many of the activities done in the main school were not provided for prep students.

Why does this kind of discrimination happen?

I noticed that teachers didn’t update homeworks for young kids to do. No reminders in classdojo and nothing written in handbooks. I am still concern on the usage of your handbooks. It is very clean every year. My kid will use it as a doodle book instead.

When homeworks are done, it was not hand in to the teachers. A lot of pages are not marked! Sometimes when I asked my 6 year old. He said that he forget to hand it in. It seems that teachers didn’t even count the books that they collect. Pls look into it.

When we registered our child five years ago, we were informed that Stellar would move into its own building within that timeframe. However, we have not received any updates on this matter. We would appreciate information on whether there are plans for a standalone building and what facilities it might include. Academic and extracurricular activities are vital for students, and parents may consider transferring their children to other schools with better facilities. Regular updates on the school’s plans would be beneficial, as it could help reduce dropout rates by reassuring us that the construction of a new school building is progressing and that our children will have access to improved facilities to enhance their learning experience.

We are concerned about the Mandarin and Malay language classes. After 5 years in Stellar, our child still struggles to speak basic sentences. How are these classes being conducted? While I’m sure the teachers are doing their best, it was only after suggesting alternative approaches, like video assignments and fun, interactive games, that we noticed our child becoming interested in the language.

my child is still able to purchase food at the cafeteria even without physically possessing the payment card. This is despite my decision to provide him with a home-packed lunch and not authorize cafeteria purchases. Additionally, I have noticed that I am being charged an administrative fee for these transactions.

While I understand the intent behind cashless systems, I believe this current setup does not promote financial responsibility. When students can make purchases without accountability or parental oversight, it undermines the opportunity for them to learn how to manage money and make conscious choices.

I would appreciate it if the school could review this system and consider putting safeguards in place—such as disabling purchases without a card or requiring explicit parental approval—to better support financial literacy and parental control

1. Excursion consent form- last year consent form has a clause for parent to agree to waive all liability of the school. This clause is bias and doesn't give parents the confidence that school will be responsible for any wilful negligence act from the school.

2. Student handbook last clause which says parents is to agree to show respect for self, student, staff and communities. Is understandable that these kind of clauses is for students to agree as they are still in the learning process. However, it is actually quite an insulting clause for parents to sign as if parents doesn't know how to behave and need school to have this clause printed on the handbook?

I would like to bring this up again, as there has been no change. The student journal book is a great initiative by the school, but its implementation has been lacking. Please hold a session to guide students on how to make the most of this journal and provide regular reminders to use it for homework, assignments, and planning. Since purchasing the journal was made compulsory, it’s concerning to see it left empty. Making it mandatory for students to bring it to school and reminding them to use it would help justify its purchase and ensure it is used effectively.

Changing room for PE

At the begging of the term we found out, that primary school students need to change after PE in toilets. They put their clothes to the toilet itself, trash been, sink. The floor is often wet. We raised the question to admission office, they sad to ask PE teachers. PE teachers said there were no changing rooms I the sports club. We went to sports club and they kindly showed us the changing rooms and ensured the kids can use it ( it was the agreement with SIS). We texted to PE teachers, they said it’s impossible. We went to SIS admissions office , they said they will put the benches and hangers. Nothing happened. Last PE lessen we asked our kid just go to the changing room instead of toilet. But PE teacher prohibited it. We already have put so much afford to solve this problem. It’s a problem !!! Kids are not supposed to put their clothes on a toilet. And we faced the wall of rejection and no suggestions. Please help our kids!

I noticed that my child (in Year 1) is not drinking enough water in school. The water bottle comes home rather full.

He easily finishes a full bottle of water at home but I’m only giving him half a bottle (approximately 300ml) for school.

From my understanding, the children are to place their water bottle at the water bottle area in class. They will have their bottle during break and lunch time, when the teacher ask them to or they request to drink in class (which they will avoid doing because they don’t want to interrupt the teacher/class).

Can the children have their water bottle with them in class?

Are there any plans for the school to join these athletic events?
