About Our School

Hi everybody! Let us tell you something about our school.

Some History…

Our Academic Staff…

Our Students…

NAME…

Our school's name is Air Putih Secondary School. "Air" in our national language means water and "putih" means white. So you can call it " White Water Secondary School ". Isn't it cute?

SOME HISTORY…

Do you know that our school started as the so-called 'Further School' in 1962? It became "Sekolah Menengah Air Putih" (the school's name in our national language), or in short, SMAP in 1971. That was the year when the school moved to the present site of 7 acres.

So we have just celebrated our Silver Jubilee in 1996.

THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS…

The main building consists of 8 blocks, split into 36 classrooms and various special rooms as listed below

A hall, 5 science labs, 6 workshops, 2 offices, a library, a canteen, a mosque, a multipurpose court, etc.

We guys love the multipurpose court. That's where we have all our funs.

OUR ACADEMIC STAFF…

The principal, Madam Hajjah Rubiah bt Haji Sidin, leads the administrative team, assisted by 3 senior assistants. They are

Mr. Yap Foo Kong ( Administration / Curriculum )
Madam
Azhariah bt Hussein (
Students Affair )
Mr.
Ting Ah Hing (
Afternoon Supervisor )

Besides that, there are 4 more administrative assistants who head the following departments,

Language department
Humanity department
Science & mathematics department
Vocational & technical department

Working hand in hand to impart knowledge are our 85 beloved teachers, out of which 58 are ladies.

Maybe we can conclude that men don't like to teach, Ha Ha Ha!

Our students…

The total enrolment is 1667, with 943 boys and 724 girls in 3 main races as indicated in the chart below.

We are put in 2 sessions. Our juniors (Form 1 and Form 2 students) study in the afternoon whereas, we, the big brothers and sisters, are given privilege to enjoy the cool and pleasant mornings. Great, isn't it?

That's all for the time being. We will certainly tell you more about our school some time later.
