Sri Kuala Lumpur is a private non-profit educational institution located in Subang Jaya, Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia wholly owned and managed by a not-for-profit foundation. The school consists of two sections:
- Sri Kuala Lumpur Primary School
- Sri Kuala Lumpur Secondary School
History
Sri Kuala Lumpur Primary School was established in January 1979 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, 12 months later when it moved to Jalan Ampang. 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 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 Form 1 could have the choice of studying the government (KBSM) or Cambridge syllabus.
Smart school
The school introduced the smart school concept in the primary section during 1999.[1] The secondary school was declared a 'smart school' by the Minister of Education, Tan Sri Musa Mohamad in June 2000.
School system
Unlike many other schools, 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. (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 can have monitors and assistant monitors assigned to the class too. The class teacher is the one who picks the 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 staffroom is well stocked with teaching materials, and iMacs for use. Each department has a computer to assist in teaching.
Facilities
There are 2 canteens, the Primary Canteen located adjacent to the Primary Courtyard and the Great Hall. The Great Hall is used for assembly on 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 nurses office, and an auditorium.
