Board of Governors, led by Chairman Datuk Clement Yeh, expressed satisfaction with the students’ achievements. Yeh extended his congratulations to the students and appreciation to the teaching staff for their dedication, professionalism and commitment.

Principal Goh Teck Seng highlighted that since 2024, the school has introduced diversified academic pathways to broaden students’ future opportunities.

The first pathway, the UEC + SPM Programme, allows students to sit for the Junior UEC (JUEC) in Form Three, SPM in Form Five and Senior UEC (SUEC) in Form Six, enabling them to pursue higher education locally or internationally.

The second pathway, the IGCSE + SPM Programme, delivers most subjects in English, except SPM subjects and Chinese, with students completing the Cambridge IGCSE examinations over two years before sitting core SPM subjects.

He said this pathway prepares students for A-Levels or foundation programmes and is suitable for those intending to study in Australia, New Zealand or Western countries.

The programme has been well received by parents, and the first cohort is scheduled to sit the IGCSE examinations in 2027.

The school offers three academic streams — Science, Commerce and Culinary Arts.
