History

Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman (or more commonly known as STAR) is a public fully-residential school in Malaysia. Named after the first King of Malaysia, Almarhum Seri Paduka Baginda Tuanku Abdul Rahman, it is located in Ipoh, Perak. The school initially started at an army camp in Baeza Avenue (now known as Jalan Hospital). Formerly known as Malay Secondary School, this all-boys school was built by the Malayan government in 1957 to uplift the education status of Malays in Malaya.

House Spirit

STAR currently held students from form 1 to form 5. Previously there have been classes up to form 6, but later the ministry of education only allow up to form 5 for the boarding school. All hostel students are gathered via the sports house. There are 6 house color, which is Rumah Hijau (Green House), Rumah Biru (Blue House), Rumah Hitam (Black House), Rumah Merah (Red House), Rumah Putih (White House), Rumah Kuning (Yellow House). The houses were sorted by the one which is nearer to academic block, starting from Rumah Hijau, to Rumah Kuning.

Bangunlah wahai teman-temanku, Berkorban segenap tenagamu, Bersama berusaha memajukan bangsa, Serta tanah air kita.

Bangunlah tuntut segala ilmu, Tunjukkan kebaktianmu, Jangan membuang masa, Dengannya sia-sia, Kerana ilmu panduan hidup
