History

In 1962, the school was first founded as Sultan Hassan Malay School (SMSH) in the Bruneian town of Bangar, [4] named after Sultan Muhammad Hasan. A hostel planned and then under construction was delayed in 1967. [5] As of that same year, the school only has two classes and was under the leadership of the acting principal of Sekolah Menengah Melayu Pertama (First Malay Secondary School). [4] In c.1972, it was renamed to Sultan Hassan Malay Secondary School. [6] The school moved to a new building, which was built around 1984 and began operation in 1986. [7]

Beginning on 1 March 2023, classes would be held in the new Sultan Hassan Secondary School facility in Kampong Batu Apoi. The renovation project was in keeping with the Ministry of Education's (MoE) long-term goals and desire to offer a more hospitable and high-quality educational infrastructure. [8] Earlier on 20 February, the new building was turned over to the ministry. There are 714 pupils, 80 teachers, and 16 support staff members in the new building. [7]

The school provides five years of secondary education, leading up to GCE 'O' Level qualification.

Facilities

Facilities at the Batu Apoi complex include a football field, a parking lot, a drop-off area, an assembly area, a multipurpose hall, classrooms, a science lab, a library, a surau, canteens, and dining halls. [7]
