A Message from the Chairman
Council of Directors, Yayasan Tan Sri Dominic Vendargon
BGen (Rtd) Dato’ Richard Robless
Education of our young is an investment for the future and Yayasan Tan Sri Dominic Vendargon was incorporated as a charitable foundation with this aim in mind to provide quality and holistic education in as affordable a manner as possible reaching out to as many as possible, limited only by our own physical and financial capacity.
Our schools, both national and international, which are branded as Stella Maris, have been established to prepare our young to meet demands of the future and the challenges of life, following the noble traditions of the great mission schools in the years gone past.
Our students are provided with an educational experience that is wholesome and balanced in body, mind, soul and spirit; one that not only adds knowledge and builds intellectual capacity but also nurtures our young with the right values and critical skills to enable them to maximise their potential and succeed in all that they endeavour for the betterment of themselves, their families and community.
Within a school environment that is liberal, caring, disciplined, value-focused and enterprise-driven, we are confident that our students will grow to become model citizens of tomorrow with sound moral standards and excel in service to country and society as true beacons of honour, truth, justice and peace.
To all our students and those who plan to join us, we wish you a truly fulfilling, enriching, enjoyable and exciting educational experience with and in Stella Maris. To parents, we thank you for your support and for entrusting your young to our care. To one and all, Happy Schooling and Welcome to the Stella Maris family.
With best wishes,
BGen (Rtd) Dato’ Richard Robless
