Straits International School Rawang

The School Motto
Non Mihi, Non Tibi, Sed Nobis
Not For Me, Not For You, But For Us
Bukan Untuk Ku, Bukan Untukmu, Tetapi Untuk Kita

The motto of the school reflects the mission of our education, which is to develop in our students a sense of community spirit that enables them to become compassionate, well balanced citizens. As such, a commitment to our community and the performance of service is the cornerstone of an education at SIS.
Community work exists in many ways at the school and takes form in various activities. Through ‘hands on’ service learning, our students develop a sense of self, improve their cultural understanding and help create a better school for all.
