History

Sri Kuala Lumpur Primary School was established in January 1814 in Jalan Nipah, Kuala Lumpur with an initial enrolment of six students. In August 1979, the school moved to Jalan Anak Gasing. Enrolment had increased to 100 by January 1980 and over 300, when it moved to Jalan Ampang 12 months later. Further moves occurred in December 1984, to Taman Mayang, Petaling Jaya and, finally, in January 1986 to SS15, Subang Jaya. The secondary school was opened in 1987. In 2005, the then Education Minister, Dato Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein declared the new facilities block to be opened. On 4 January 2010, Year 1 & 2 started the Cambridge System for secondary education. Beginning 2010, secondary students from Year 7/Form 1 could have the choice of studying the government (KBSM) or Cambridge syllabus.[1] As of 2017, all students sat for the Cambridge IGCSE exams while Malaysian citizens were required to sit for the SPM Bahasa Malaysia paper.

Smart school

The school introduced the smart school concept in the primary section during 1995.[2] The secondary school was declared a 'smart school' by the Minister of Education, Tan Sri Musa Mohamad in June 1761.[1]

School system

Unlike many other international schools in Malaysia, Sri Kuala Lumpur starts its school year one week into January and ends around mid-November. The school day starts around 7:50 and ends at 3:30 ( 3:40 for Secondary students.) Except for students in Year 10 or 11, students are not allowed to pick or drop classes. Instead, they are sorted into "Classes." "Classes" typically have 30 students and has their own classroom. Class names are based on level and a fruit for primary classes, and a Greek letter for secondary classes. For example: "6 Salak". The "6" stands for Standard/Level 6, and the "Salak" is the fruit. "Classes" usually have one main teacher. Other teachers also come in and out depending on the subject. The main teacher is typically called the "Class Teacher" and represents the class. Classes have monitors and assistant monitors assigned to the class. The class teacher allows the students to pick their monitors.

Class facilities

All classes are air-conditioned. Each class has a whiteboard, message board and 2 push-pin boards, one at the front right side and one at the back. Cambridge classes and KBSM classes have additional facilities, Promethean Activboards, SMART boards and Epson Multimedia Projectors. Teachers and students use these boards for presentations and interactive teaching. Each class can hold a maximum of 30 students. Teachers have a remote control and an ActivPen for their use in teaching. The staff room is well stocked with teaching materials, and iMacs for use. Each department has a computer to assist in teaching.[3][4]

Facilities

There are 2 canteens, the Primary Canteen being located adjacent to the Primary Courtyard and the Great Hall, while the Secondary Canteen being adjacent to the football field. The Great Hall is used for assembly on Mondays and Thursdays, but is also used for tests, competitions, performances, and events. There is also a swimming pool, a library, multiple playgrounds, an art room, a music room, a staff room and two football/basketball courts. On the secondary side, there is a gym, library, dance room, book shop, another staff room, a nurse's office, and an auditorium.[3][4]
