In addition, four students obtained a remarkable Band 5.0 in the 2023 Session 3 Malaysian University English Test (MUET), an increase from the year before. 

“I see teaching as a collaborative effort between students and teachers. Teachers have the responsibility to provide students with knowledge and motivate them to spend time productively. 

“Students too have their responsibility to their teachers and their classmates and to themselves by being tolerant, prepared for class and willing to work hard for the betterment of themselves”, said Azzuhri Busu Leman, a Form Six Senior Assistant.

The school also produced a total number of 32 high achievers of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) 3.00 above. 

Out of these 32 high achievers, 11 students obtained a brilliant CGPA 3.50 above.
