History

This school, formerly known as Sekolah Menengah Sains Melaka, [14] [15] [16] was established in a hilly area with a height of 121.9 meters above sea level. The original area was 12.9 hectares. The history of this school began on 5 January 1973. [17] On this date, a total of 120 Form 1 students consisting of 80 male students and 40 female students as pioneers were placed at SMK Munsyi Abdullah, Batu Berendam, Melaka while waiting for the school construction. [18] Due to the slow completion of the Muzaffar Syah Science Secondary School building, the students were transferred to Sekolah Menengah Sains Johor in Kluang the following year. [19]

On 3 January 1976, a total of 120 Form 1 students were placed again at SMK Munsyi Abdullah.

They were placed at Melaka Science Secondary School, Melaka on 10 May 1976. [20] Initially, the school had 22 classrooms, offices, libraries, staff rooms, language labs, media rooms, counseling rooms, cooperatives, living skills workshops for Household Economy (ERT) and Latest Manipulative Skills (KMT), dentist clinic, quarantine room, dormitory office and others.

In 1978, in collaboration with the Matriculation Unit of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), the school was entrusted to conduct the Matriculation Course, an intensive one-year course for students of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The first group of students in this Matriculation Course consists of 102 students from all over Malaysia. Form 6 was discontinued and the UKM Matriculation class was resumed by starting the Engineering Science Matriculation Class. [21]

In October 1983, the school, originally named Sekolah Menengah Sains Melaka, was officially changed to Sekolah Menengah Sains Muzaffar Syah, taking its name from Sultan Muzaffar Syah, the fourth Sultan of Melaka Malay Sultanate. [22] The inauguration of this name change was officiated by His Excellency the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Melaka, Tun Syed Zahiruddin bin Syed Hassan. [23]

In 1998, the school was recognized as one of the 88 Smart Schools in Malaysia. [24] [25] In 2001, the Al-Abrar surau was built and inaugurated by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka as well as the construction of spotlights in schools, hostels and fields. To encourage student engagement with ICT, school policy allows students to bring their own laptops. The school is also provided with free Wi-Fi service by the Melaka Government.

In 2007, the MOZAC field became the training ground for Manchester United for the 2007 Youth Champions Cup and was also upgraded to a 5 Star Sekolah Bestari. In 2008, a landslide occurred. Most of the top of the field was badly affected. In the same year, the school gained Cluster School status followed by High Performance School in 2010.

In 2017, the school consists of form one to form five students where each form has five classes (Alpha, Beta, Omega, Sigma and Theta). Since then, MOZAC have 2 classes of Dual-Language Programme (DLP) in each grade which used Malay and English as communication language.

PETA-MOZAC-ENGLISH.png

There are generally a total of 3 building blocks that house MOZAC students. 2 of them are combined blocks that house male students while a separate block houses female students. Asrama puteri (Aspuri) and Asrama putera (Aspura) are separated by Dewan Sultan Megat Iskandar Syah which is the dining hall of this school.

The new Surau Al-Abrar which was completed in 2016 replaces the old Surau Al-Abrar. The construction of this surau took 2 years. This Surau was designed with open-concept because MOZAC's high position has already made ventilation in the surau a matter that does not need to be given attention. The management of this surau is placed entirely on the Body of Da'wah and Islamic Spirituality (BADRI). They are responsible for managing cleanliness and supervising programs such as the recitation of Surah Al-Kahfi on Fridays.

In 2021, the front road of the school has been collapsed until 2023. [26]

Extracurricular activities

The niche area of MOZAC is Research and Development (R&D). Earlier, when it was awarded the Cluster School status, there were three niche areas: k-teroka (R & D), e-MOZAC (ICT) and e-Tinta (Writing). The three were combined into the single R&D in 2012. In recent years, MOZAC has been known for pioneering other schools in this area. In 2009, the school produced its own thumb drive known as i-MOZAC (not to be confused with Apple's products). The lights in the school fully uses LED that are assembled by the students. In addition, it is also known for its robotics and F1 in Schools programmed. Recently, the school started to do research involving the potential of green technology.

The school WO team made it to the Wind Orchestra Finale in 2002 and 2003. The best conductor award was given to the school in 2002 and was the fourth out of eight teams in 2003.
