Dear OWIS Management,

"Extend OWIS Suntec lease by just One Year!!"

We, the parents of OWIS Suntec students, are reaching out to express our concerns regarding the recent announcement of the campus closure. We trusted you with the future of our kids, Please do not let us down. We urge you to do the right and professional thing by giving us at least a year's notice, rather than just a term's notice. It is disheartening to know that you were aware all along of your growth plan to shut down the Suntec Campus once the Punggol Campus is ready, yet you hid this information from all existing parents and took admissions of new students without informing them about your imminent plans. 

This sudden decision has left many parents in a difficult situation, having been given insufficient notice about the closure. You are well aware that most of us wont be able to secure seats at other schools at such short notice.

The option of your other campuses at extreme ends of Singapore is not feasible; otherwise, we wouldn't have enrolled our children at your central campus in the first place. Our children's education is at stake here - an issue too significant to gamble with.

We are not asking for much; just an extension of your lease by one year. This will provide all affected parents enough time to make alternative arrangements for our children's education without causing unnecessary disruption or stress.

We appeal to all founders and shareholders, including Atul Temurnikar, Gaurav Pant, and Kaustabh Bodhankar, to reconsider this decision in light of its impact on our children's future.

Parents whose children attended the Canadian International School still sing praises for the delicate manner in which their Katong campus closure was managed. The school provided two years' notice to all existing parents about the closure of their Campus, while also offering numerous perks such as free bus service to their Lakeside Campus. Additionally, they maintained honesty when addressing inquiries from parents about available school seats. How would you like to be remembered by your students and their parents?

Please sign this petition if you believe in giving every child a stable educational environment where they can thrive without fear or uncertainty about their school’s existence.

Sincerely,

OWIS Suntec Parent
