Rough Map of the School

Details:

The Area Under Construction:

These areas formerly housed the workshop and stores. Due to the demand for expansion, these areas have been demolished and will be occupied by new workshops, storerooms and additional multi-storied classrooms. The felling of the Flame of the Forest trees there, however, is regretted. 

Musala

This round domed building functions (presumably) as the area for the Muslim students who wish to pray during or after school hours.

Canteen

This large open building is where the majority flock to during recess time. A large row of counters, lining both the top and left sides of the canteen cater to the students' needs. Aside from the usual fare such as Kuey Tiaw, Nasi Lemak and Mee Sup,  there are also other more unconventional ones such as burgers, banjos and even the ever popular Chinese pau.  Sinks and numerous dustbins are placed strategically throughout the building for the student's convenience.  The students are also seated according to class.

Science Labs

These block of laboratories is also shared by the technical classrooms. However, these labs are used solely by the Form 3 students. The lower level students utilize the smaller labs located in the Prefect/Art/Cooking Block whilst the more advanced students occupy the more sophisticated labs in the Science Lab 2 Blocks.

This triple storied building, aside from housing the Form 3 classrooms, also hosts the Form 1's as well. The bathrooms are located at the end of the block. Both ends of the building possess staircases.

Form 4 Block

This simple single storied building rests in the pleasant shade of two Mexican Lilac trees and an Asam Jawa shrub. A covered walkway allows students to walk to and from other buildings without getting wet during the rainy days. The building is also shared by the Form 2 students. 

Koperasi

A select section of reference books are also sold, alongside various types of exercise books, examination pads, ledgers and sketch pads.  A small corner is also reserved for the Asrama students, that is, the students who live in the school's boarding facilities. Items such as shampoos, toothpaste and other necessities are kept in stock. There is also a gift section.
