The school is one of the 13 schools part of the Multimedia University foster schools. [2] [3] [4]

History

Originally, the school was named SMJK (Inggeris) Serdang Bharu. The reason for the name is attributed to the government policy of changing English secondary schools to national schools, with Bahasa Melayu as the medium of language.

In 2014, the school celebrated its golden jubilee. [5]

The then principal of the school Tay Keng Lee, won the overseas teacher award by the Haihua Foundation and the Overseas Community Affairs Council of Taiwan after changing the schools disciplinary problems. [6]

The school raised over RM1 million for a new auditorium. [7]

Tay Keng Lee retired after serving as the school's principal for many years. [8] While Mr Tay's position was succeeded by Madam Teo Boon Hwa on July 8, 2020.

On March 26, 2023, it was reported that the school might have been damaged due to continuous flooding in Seri Kembangan. [9]

SK Winds

SK Winds is the school's wind orchestra which simultaneously is also a marching band. The decades old band have taken part in many competitions in various states, including once in Singapore. Occasionally they would host their very own concerts and participate in festivals within Seri Kembangan. Recently, they have been proudly selected to perform at the 2017 SEA Games Opening Ceremony and the national-level Independence Day parade in Putrajaya. [10] [11] [12]
