Dear Students,

Welcome to Stellart International School of Arts!

On behalf of everyone who has been working so very hard to ensure that you will have the most enjoyable, happy and exciting of experiences, I would like to welcome you to our beautiful campus.

Today, you began a crucial phase in your educational journey - one that will take you along an artistic path - one that will take you from adolescence to adulthood. I hope you are excited. I hope you are ready to make the most of the opportunities that await. 

These next years will be life-changing. Now is the time for you to find your passion. Now is the time to become the artist that you want to be. And now is the time to strive for the highest of ambitions.    

I know that your parents are proud of you. They will want you to be happy and to be offered a most supportive and challenging education that will ensure that you can realize your potential. For them, this is also an important day. You might let them know, that when they look back to this moment, they will be very proud to have helped you along this journey. In keeping with Chinese traditions, I suggest that you thank them, for offering you this unique opportunity.

Over the next few days our aim is to ensure you get to know each other and your teachers. You will learn of our expectations, and gain further insight into the choices you will have in relation to our curriculum. We know that you are unique, and thus we offer great diversity in terms of the pathways and subjects available. This diversity will help us to ensure that we can support you in your ambitions, your goals and your different strengths. Seek help from your parents, tutors and teachers to help you decide which path you should take. 

As you know, we are a school dedicated to developing the next generation of designers, entrepreneurs, innovators and artists – people who will not only exceed their own expectations, but contribute positively and effectively within their communities.  Our curriculum has been designed specifically with this in mind, and to prepare you for our ever-changing technological world. At SISA you will be expected to work collaboratively with your peers, to design, create and problem-solve. We ask each and every student to help and support one another, and to have the highest expectations of all within our community.  

With this letter you have joined our ‘Community of Artists!’. You are expected to dedicate yourself to creativity, self-discovery and to the pursuit of making the world more peaceful and beautiful. 

The friendships you will forge over the next few years, with your peers and teachers, will last a lifetime. We look forward to getting to know you to find out more about your dreams, and aspirations. Again, I welcome you to our school, and wish you great happiness in the years ahead! 

Best wishes,

Roy White

Executive Principal
