OUR PARENTS
Parents play a big role in shaping the SIS Community. We believe that all parents want the best for their children, and we strive to provide the best for our students. As a school, we consistently communicate and collaborate with parents to continuously make the school a better place for all SIS students to achieve success.
We value parent engagement
Here at SIS, we value parent engagement in an array of areas:
Student Academic Performance
Student Personal Development
School Feedback & Improvement
Parents have the opportunity of playing an active role in students' education and participate in events such as Meet the Teachers Nights, Cuppa Coffee Mornings with the Principal, and Parent-Teacher Interviews.
SIS Parent Council
The SIS Parent Council represents the parent body at SIS.
SIS Parent Council Executives lead and provide support to the parent community while linking parents and the school administration.
The SIS Parent Council is a group of motivated and enthusiastic parent volunteers who represents the parent body at SIS. Parents are essential in shaping the SIS community. Through ongoing communication and collaboration, we work together to create a nurturing environment where all SIS students can thrive. Parents also have the opportunity to actively engage in their children's education by participating in events such as Spring Into Reading Sessions, Sports Day Volunteers, Teacher Appreciation Day, Charity Run, and Multicultural Day.
With the support of our dedicated Parent Executive team, we are committed to enhancing parent- teacher partnerships, introducing meaningful initiatives, and creating an engaged and positive school culture. Through open communication and active participation, we can work together to make SIS an even more enriching place for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.
The SIS Parent Council is led by the Parent Council Executive Team (6 elected parent volunteers) working in close collaboration with the School Principal, Student Councils, and school staff representatives (academic and non-academic).
We continue to provide support to each other within our community through our community parent chat group. To be included in this chat group, please liaise with SIS Admin staff.

“Great School Spirit”
My two children, Dillion and Hilary, are among the pioneer batch of SIS Iskandar Puteri. SIS Iskandar Puteri has a team of well-qualified, motivated and engaged teachers, and a team of professional, committed staff. There is great school spirit and a strong sense of community involvement among the school’s diverse pool of students and teaching staff. Located next to Emerald Lake and Straits of Johor, the incessant cool breeze from the lake and the sea lends a peaceful and conducive atmosphere for studying and various sports activities.

“A Friendly Atmosphere”
SIS Iskandar Puteri is one of the best schools we have ever encountered. The school has a warm spirit and an amazingly friendly atmosphere. The school has a good diversity of students, staff are welcoming, and the teachers are motivated and empathetic. We are truly happy with the well-established Ontario Canadian system for primary school, and with the IB system deployed at the secondary level. My two girls are happy, confident, good communicators and settled with their many friends. SIS Sunway Iskandar is and will always be the right choice for my daughters.

“A Seamless Journey”
As parents, we wanted an international school that would give our two children, Divya and Dhiren, a seamless journey from secondary school all the way to Pre-University. SIS Iskandar Puteri, which offered the holistic International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), was the answer to our conundrum. We believe our children are well-prepared for University studies as they have undergone significant project and coursework components that developed their independent thinking. It was not an easy journey, but they succeeded with the guidance of dedicated teachers, and being in a conducive learning environment with supportive peers.
